A computer that has access to the Internet and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as its Web browser should work efficiently with the FEMA Internet RI system. We further recommend a minimum Pentium III and 128 mb of Ram for IE 6.0, with an actual minimum requirement of a 486/66 MHZ processor, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.” So if you happen to be fortunate enough to grab a computer and a live internet connection to apply for aid, you’re out of luck if it is a Mac machine. Half of the state where I grew up is in dire need of help and stupid decisions like making their website IE 6.0 and PC-only seem to plague every nook and cranny of FEMA. Every little exclusion is a slammed door in the face of people who are just trying to survive. UPDATE: More on this over at BoingBoing.

In addition, for Win 98 we suggest 16 MB of RAM, Windows ME 32 MB of RAM, Win NT 32 MB of RAM, Win 2000 32 MB of RAM, and Win XP 32 MB or RAM. For monitors, we recommend a Super VGA (800 X 600) or higher resolution monitor with 256 colors. Does the registration software have a time-out feature? Yes. The registration software will time-out after 45 minutes of no activity. If you time-out during the registration process, your registration will not be saved. If this happens you have three options: 1. When your connectivity is restored, begin your registration again, 2. Call the FEMA Technical Helpdesk at 1-800-745-0243, 3. Call 1-800-6
