FEMA may provide financial assistance for alternate temporary housing if you are displaced from your primary residence due to the Los Angeles County wildfires.

LOS ANGELES – If you are feeling overwhelmed by emotions, stress, or hopelessness, you are not alone. Help is available for disaster survivors experiencing emotional distress following the wildfires.

LOS ANGELES – If you received a letter from FEMA that says you’re ineligible for assistance, you still have options. A quick fix, like providing more information, may change FEMA’s initial determination.

LOS ANGELES – Only a week remains for homeowners, renters and businesses impacted by the January wildfires in Los Angeles County to apply for federal disaster assistance. Monday, March 10, is the deadline to apply for both FEMA disaster assistance and a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) low-interest disaster loan.

For FEMA to process an insured survivor’s application, the survivor must provide a copy of their insurance settlement, insurance denial letter, or show proof of lack of insurance.
