News and Media: Disaster 4856

Several deadlines are approaching for individuals impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires.

Homeowners, renters and businesses in Los Angeles County who experienced property damage or losses from the January wildfires have less than two weeks left to apply for federal disaster assistance. Monday, March 10, is the last day to apply for both FEMA disaster assistance and a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) low-interest disaster loan. This deadline will not impact applications that have already been started.

The Disaster Recovery Centers in Los Angeles County help residents affected by the wildfires continue their recovery. Starting Sunday, March 2, these locations will be closed on Sundays. Disaster Recovery Centers will remain open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday – Saturday.

FEMA works with private sector vendors to help fulfill the response and recovery needs for disasters like the recent Los Angeles County Wildfires.

Your FEMA online account is a self-service online system which can be used for many things such as tracking your application, receiving messages, and uploading documents.
