Registration and disaster information is still available by calling the FEMA helpline, going online or using the FEMA mobile app, as follows:
- Call 800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585). The toll-free numbers operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET seven days a week. Multilingual operators are available.
- Go online at DisasterAssistance.gov.
- Download the FEMA App.
The end of the registration period does not mean FEMA is leaving. The Agency will continue working with the Michigan Department of State Police/Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division to help survivors and communities in their long-term rebuilding and recovery efforts.
Once you’ve registered, it’s important to stay in touch with FEMA to track your application or to notify the agency of changes to your mailing or email addresses or phone numbers, and to report insurance settlements, ongoing unmet needs or additional damage you may have discovered.
FEMA staff may contact you for various reasons, including to discuss your case or request additional information. Answer those phone calls to make sure your application process continues. If you are in any doubt when receiving a call from someone stating they work for FEMA, do not give out any information, but call 800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585) between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. ET to verify the call is legitimate.
