The deadline to register for assistance from FEMA is October 31, 2011. Residents who sustained damage from Hurricane Irene have two weeks left to register for assistance through FEMA. Even if you have an insurance claim that has not been settled, you must register with FEMA if you would like to have the option of receiving supplemental assistance.
There are three ways to register- go to http://www.disasterassistance.gov/, m.fema.gov or call FEMA toll-free 800-621-3362 (FEMA). Those with access or functional needs and who use a TTY may call 800-462-7585 or use 711 or Video Relay Service to call 800-621-3362. Telephone lines are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET; multilingual operators are available.
