ALL DISASTER PROGRAMS HAVE DEADLINES.

Over 50% of disaster victims have not applied for assistance. People should call 1-800-621-FEMA and register immediately, whether or not you have insurance.

CURRENTLY, FEMA’s deadline for housing assistance is DEC 30,2012 unless it’s changed since yesterday.

Currently SBA’s deadline is DEC 31,2012.

Also very important. Many times people are given an SBA low interest loan packet but throw it away because they don’t want a long. It is critical to return it because not doing so may exclude you from further grant assistance. You may be declined the SBA loan or may wish to decline it. But you must complete the disaster assistance process to be considered for the full amount of help available.
