If you have damage not covered by insurance from the disasters of May 27 through May 29, it is recommended by agencies to begin the process by applying for federal assistance online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362 (including 711 or Video Relay); TTY 800-462-7585.
When applying, have the following information ready: Social Security number, daytime telephone number, current mailing address as well as the mailing address and zip code for the damaged property, and insurance information for the property.
If you haven't already, contact your insurance company to file an insurance claim. FEMA does not duplicate insurance payments. However, you may still receive help after your insurance claim has been settled if you have eligible uninsured or under-insured losses.
The Small Business Administration will also have representatives at the Disaster Recovery Center to assist businesses in completing the SBA application and answer questions.
