Why was I not approved for disaster assistance? What if I disagree?

Review the decision letter (sent by electronic correspondence of mail) which explains why you were not approved. Before submitting an appeal, it is important to understand the initial decision and what additional supporting documents to explain your situation are needed if you disagree with the decision. 

Please follow instructions in the decision letter. Remember to include the following information on all pages of submitted documentation:  

• Your name  
• Disaster number  
• Application number (found on top of decision letter)
