HARRISBURG, PA – Homeowners and renters who have uninsured or
underinsured damage to their property from the Remnants of Hurricane
Ida in Bedford, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Northampton,
Philadelphia, and York counties have only one week left to apply for
disaster assistance.

THE DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR DISASTER ASSISTANCE FROM THE FEDERAL
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) IS DEC. 10.

There are several ways to register:

 	* Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Help is available in most
languages. Persons who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech
disability and use a TTY may call 800-462-7585. The toll-free numbers
are open 7 A.M. TO 11 P.M.
 
 	* Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov
[http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov] (also in Spanish).
 
 	* Download the FEMA mobile app [https://www.fema.gov/mobile-app]
(also in Spanish), also available at Google Play or the Apple App
Store.

ASSISTANCE FROM FEMA MAY INCLUDE FUNDS FOR:

 	* Temporary housing while you are unable to live in your home, such
as rental assistance or reimbursement for hotel costs
 	* Funds to support the repair or replacement of owner-occupied homes
that serve as the household’s primary residence, including
privately-owned access routes, such as driveways, roads, or bridges
 	* Disaster-caused expenses and serious needs, such as repair or
replacement of personal property and vehicles, funds for moving and
storage, medical, dental, child care and other miscellaneous items.

APPLICANTS FOR DISASTER ASSISTANCE SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION PRIOR TO REGISTRATION:

 	* Social Security number
 	* Address of the damaged primary residence
 	* Insurance coverage information
 	* Current telephone number and mailing address
 	* Bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit of funds

Survivors should keep their contact information updated with FEMA
because they may need to reach them to perform a home inspection or
get additional information. For faster reimbursement, FEMA encourages
survivors to request direct deposits of disaster assistance to their
financial institution. Survivors should let FEMA know as soon as
possible of any changes to their mailing or banking information.

Disaster assistance is not a substitute for insurance and cannot
compensate for all losses caused by a disaster. The assistance is
intended to meet basic needs and supplement disaster recovery efforts.
