Sometimes, after a disaster, applying for FEMA assistance can be a challenge. Disaster Recovery Centers are not always convenient, bad internet connection prevents using DisasterAssistance.gov, or there are long holds on the FEMA Helpline.

After you apply for assistance, FEMA may send an inspector to your home to verify disaster caused damage. If you do receive an inspection a FEMA inspector will contact you to set a date and time prior to the inspection. You don’t have to wait for a FEMA inspector to clean up. FEMA inspectors don’t need to see the debris to verify damages.
