FEMA Resources

It’s easy to be confused by all the disaster resources available as you recover from a hurricane, but here is a breakdown of agencies, programs, phone numbers, and website links that may assist.

If you have insurance, contact your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance provider to file a claim. If you have not filed a claim with your insurance company or provided a copy of your insurance settlement approval or denial to FEMA, you will likely receive a notification that there is “no decision.” This means FEMA may need additional information from you to continue processing your application.

For National Flood Insurance Program questions, email floodsmart@fema.dhs.gov or call 877-336-2627.
