Release Date: 
Juin 2, 2022 

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO –Survivors of the severe storm, floods and
landslides that occurred on February 4 – 6, who were unable to apply
for help with FEMA during the 60-day standard registration period, may
still be considered for disaster assistance by submitting a late
application.

To be considered, survivors must complete a registration and write a
letter detailing the specific
circumstances that prevented the survivor from registering for
assistance within the normal
application period. Justifying circumstances may include illness,
hospitalization or disability of the
applicant, death of an immediate family member or personal business
travel.

The letter should include the survivor’s name, registration number,
disaster number, and the last
four numbers of the applicant’s social security number. Survivors
must submit all related documents
to support their explanation.

Survivors from the affected municipalities of Cataño, Dorado, Toa
Baja, Vega Alta, and Vega Baja
may visit a nearby temporary DRC to complete a registration and submit
supporting documentation
required for a late application. For additional information or to find
the Disaster Recovery Center
