FEMA Disaster DR-4569
FEMA Disaster Assistance Registration Deadline is December 16, 2020.
FEMA gives eligible wildfire survivors financial support to help pay for needs such as rent, home repairs, medical/dental costs, funeral expenses and other disaster-related expenses. FEMA may be able to help with disaster-caused damage that insurance doesn’t cover. Eligibility is determined once an applicant’s insurance claim is settled. If residents have insurance but aren’t sure whether they will be eligible for monetary assistance, they should still register with FEMA. Residents who fail to register by the deadline, December 16, 2020, will not be eligible for any FEMA reimbursement. Wildfire survivors can register with FEMA for federal aid in one of three ways:
Online at DisasterAssistance.gov.
