Howell Township residents and businesses should apply for federal disaster assistance through the FEMA on-line registration if possible. The FEMA website consolidates the application process across several federal agencies, including FEMA and the Small Business Administration. The website also reduces the number of forms required to be completed, shortens the time it takes to apply, and allows applicants to check application progress on-line.
Apply on-line at:
http://www.disasterassistance.gov
Web-Enabled Mobile Device at: m.fema.gov
Applicants can also register by phone at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for hearing & speech impaired. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. EDT seven days a week until further notice.
Applicants will be asked to provide Social Security number, type of insurance coverage, family gross total income at the time of disaster, address and phone number where damage occurred, and current address and phone number if different than the location damaged.
