Federal Coordinating Officer Albie Lewis:  “Connecticut residents who registered for assistance from FEMA after Hurricane Sandy are now receiving letters explaining the status of their applications.

Don’t be discouraged if you get a letter saying you don’t qualify for help.  Read the letter carefully.  Call the FEMA Helpline or visit a Disaster Recovery Center and ask questions.  FEMA may only need some additional information such as insurance information or simply a signature. 

You can reach the Helpline at 1-800-621-FEMA or 1-800-621-3362.  For TTY, call 1-800-462-7585. 

 Thank you."
