Eligible applicants can register for assistance by calling (800) 621-3362, or applying online at disasterassistance.gov. The TTY number is 1-800-462-7585 for those who are speech or hearing-impaired.
Survivors who are unable to register for assistance before visiting a DRC are welcome to use the center’s phone banks and computers.
