Apply for FEMA Individual Assistance

Dallas County has been added to the Presidential Disaster Declaration ensuring that residents who were impacted by last week's severe weather are eligible to apply for the Federal Emergency Manangement Agency (FEMA) Individual Assistance program.

The FEMA Individual Assistance program funding assists with expenses such as temporary housing, emergency home repairs, uninsured and underinsured personal property losses, disaster legal services, disaster unemployment assistance, and medical, dental, and funeral expenses caused by the disaster. You can find more information on the program here.

To apply, homeowners and renters can:

• Go online to disasterassistance.gov/
• Download the FEMA App for mobile devices
• Call the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362 between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Help is available in most languages. If you use a relay service, such as video relay (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.
