  • Keep in touch with FEMA. If you’ve applied for FEMA assistance prior to the Nov. 7 deadline, you should keep in touch with FEMA if your situation has changed. This may include address, phone number, or bank information changes, changes in your housing arrangements, or if you have additional receipts for estimates or repairs.
  • You can keep in touch with FEMA by calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362, going online to DisasterAssistance.gov, or downloading and using the FEMA mobile app on your smartphone.
  • Homeowners who applied for FEMA assistance prior to the Nov. 7 deadline and had flood-related damage to furnaces or HVAC systems could still be eligible for reimbursement for those items and should submit repair or replacement estimates or invoices to FEMA.
  • Those who already applied for assistance and told FEMA they didn’t need to relocate while repairs were being made to their home, but now need a temporary place stay, may be eligible for rental assistance.
  • If individuals submitted a claim with the National Flood Insurance Program and the claim was denied, they have up to 60 days to appeal from the date the claim is denied. If claimants need assistance with their appeal, they should work with their insurance carrier, or they can contact NFIP at 877-336-2627.
