FEMA’s
Individual Assistance program can help compensate eligible applicants for disaster-related
temporary housing, uninsured personal property losses and
medical, dental and funeral expenses.

Those
who suffered damages can apply for aid by calling FEMA at (800)
621-3362 or (800) 462-7585 for the hearing or speech-impaired, by contacting FEMA online or by applying on their smart phones.
