If you initially indicated to FEMA that your home was inaccessible or that the damage was unknown, you will need to update your application when you learn about the status of your property. Once you are able to confirm the status of your damage, update your application immediately via the FEMA hotline or at a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC). Missing or outdated information could delay your assistance.
