Dear Friend,
The deadline to register for disaster assistance in the wake of Hurricane Harvey is fast approaching.
Register for disaster assistance BEFORE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30 → www.DisasterAssistance.gov.
Registering online is the quickest way to register for FEMA assistance. If you do not have access to the internet, you may register by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585. You may also use the FEMA mobile app or visit a Disaster Recovery Center. For a list of DRCs in TX14 visit bit.ly/TX14HarveyResources or www.fema.gov/DRC.
The following information is helpful when registering:
• Address of the location where the damage occurred (pre-disaster address)
• Current mailing address
• Current telephone number
• Insurance information
• Total household annual income
• Routing and account number for checking or savings account (this allows FEMA to directly transfer disaster assistance funds into a bank account)
• A description of disaster-caused damage and losses
If your FEMA application was denied, you may appeal this decision. Your FEMA application may have been denied for several reasons, including but not limited to: Information is incorrect or application is incomplete; damage is not to the primary residence; another household claim is already in existence; disaster-related losses cannot be verified; or losses have been covered by insurance.
More information regarding filing an appeal may be found at www.fema.gov/news-release/2017/10/26/fact-sheet-fema-determination-letters-how-file-appeal.
Hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. Please do not hesitate to contact my office with any further questions regarding disaster assistance.
Sincerely,
Randy K. Weber
