When can I apply for the SAFER Program?

Applications will only be accepted between 8 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Monday, January 3, 2022 and 5 p.m. ET on Friday, February 4, 2022. FEMA GO automatically records proof of timely submission and the system generates an electronic date/time stamp when FEMA GO successfully receives the application. The individual with the Authorized Organization Representative role that submitted the application will also receive the official date/time stamp and a FEMA GO tracking number in an email serving as proof of their timely submission on the date and time that FEMA GO received the application.

Applications not received by the application submission deadline will not be accepted. Applicants using unreliable internet connections, such as dial-up connections, should be aware that submission can take some time before FEMA GO receives your application.

Applicants who experience system-related issues will be addressed until 3 p.m. ET on Friday, February 4, 2022. No new system-related issues will be addressed after this deadline.
