How do I apply for FEMA assistance?

There are several ways to apply for disaster assistance: 

  • Online at DisasterAssistance.gov
  • Use the FEMA mobile app. 
  • Call FEMA at 800-621-3362 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Multilingual operators are available. If you use a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA the number for that service.
  • Temporary FEMA disaster recovery centers have opened in several hurricane-effected parishes. Check the FEMA App or visit the FEMA DRC Locator to find the locations and hours of operation.
