ATLANTA – Residents of Jefferson and Shelby counties in Alabama who
were affected by the severe storms and flooding that occurred Oct.
6-7, 2021, may apply for FEMA disaster assistance.

President Joseph Biden approved a major disaster declaration on Dec.
21. Residents in the designated counties can apply online at
disasterassistance.gov [http://www.disasterassistance.gov], by calling
800-621-3362, or by using the FEMA mobile app. If you use a relay
service, such as video relay (VRS), captioned telephone or other
service, give FEMA the number for that service. When you apply, you
will need to provide:

 	* A current phone number where you can be contacted.
 	* Your address at the time of the disaster and the address where you
are now staying.
 	* Your Social Security Number.
 	* A general list of damage and losses.
 	* Banking information if you choose direct deposit.
 	* If insured, the policy number or the agent and/or the company
name.

 

If you have homeowners or renter’s insurance, you must also file a
claim with your insurance company. FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for
losses covered by insurance. You will need to provide your insurance
claim information to FEMA to determine eligibility for federal
assistance.

Take photos to document damage and begin cleanup and repairs to
prevent further damage. Remember to keep receipts from all purchases
related to the cleanup and repair.

Disaster assistance may include financial help with temporary lodging
and home repairs, along with other programs to assist those recovering
from the storms.
