For homeowners and renters who sustained damage from Typhoon Mawar, the last day to apply for FEMA Individual Assistance is July 27, Eastern Standard Time. Because of the time difference between the Eastern Standard Time and the Chamorro Time, the deadline to register for FEMA assistance has been adjusted to 11:59 p.m. July 28, Chamorro Time. In rare cases, though, you may be eligible to submit a late application to FEMA.
FEMA may consider a late application if extraordinary circumstances kept you from applying before the deadline of July 28, Chamorro time, and you send the following documents:
- A signed letter of explanation; AND
- Supporting documentation that clearly confirms why you were unable to apply during the application period. These include:
- Record of hospitalization, illness, disability of the applicant or an immediate family member
- Death of an immediate family member
