Did you experience damage from Tropical Storm Irene? You may be eligible for help from FEMA. To register, call 800-621-3362.  You can also register online at w-w-w dot Disaster Assistance dot gov or by mobile device at m-dot-fema-dot gov. Remember, calling 2-1-1 does not register you for FEMA. When you call make sure to have some basic information ready. That includes your current telephone number; address at the time of the disaster and current address; Social Security number, and a list of damages and losses. If you are insured, you should have the name of your insurance company and your policy number. For a direct deposit, have your bank routing number available. After registering, you’ll be called about having a property inspection. Call 800-621-3362 today.
