ATLANTA — FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance crews are in Georgia
neighborhoods helping people apply for FEMA assistance after Hurricane

badges. The teams go door to door in impacted neighborhoods to help
people apply for federal assistance, check the status of an

organizations that can provide resources. DSA crews never ask for, or
accept, money.
