Speed recovery by staying in touch with FEMA

PASADENA — Staying in touch with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the best way to keep your application for federal and state disaster assistance on track.

“We have a well-traveled path to help residents recover from disaster,” said Federal Coordinating Officer Mike Hall of FEMA, “but sometimes families get stopped mid-way. The best way to keep your application moving is to keep communications open with our helpline.”

If your personal information has changed, be sure to call FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462-7585. These lines are open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m....
