The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has extended disaster assistance to all 21 New Jersey counties, the Governor’s Office announced today.
Residents can apply for help with temporary housing, repairs or other needs, according to the announcement.
Residents of the counties that had yet to been declared eligible for individual assistance by the federal government are now being encouraged to begin the process of registering with FEMA for relief. Survivors of Hurricane Sandy who suffered damage should apply for disaster assistance with FEMA - even if they have insurance or aren't sure if they are eligible.
Residents can register, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, by phone at 800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 800-462-7585 for those with hearing or speech impairments, according to the Governor’s Office.
Residents can register online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by going to http://m.fema.gov/.
