Call today to register. Don’t wait. The number is 800-621-FEMA (3362). The website is www.fema.gov. You’ll be assigned a FEMA number that’s good for 18 months. By registering now, you’ll be in the FEMA system and ready to access any assistance for which you’re eligible. You might not yet know what you need or even that you’ll definitely need FEMA help. But there’s no reason not to register just in case. In certain situations, FEMA officials will need to visit your home and make an assessment. Regardless, make a call and sign up now. In addition, keep track of everything you spend for clean-up and recovery. Keep all your receipts so you can get reimbursed for any expenditure that qualifies. If you have trouble getting through to FEMA, call my offices so we can try to help.
