Deadline to Apply for FEMA Assistance Extended to Sept. 1
Per California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services‘ request, the federal government has extended the deadline for February and March storm survivors to apply for federal assistance.
Renters and homeowners in Mono, Inyo, San Bernardino, Kern, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties impacted by the February and March storms and flooding will now have more time to sign up for federal disaster assistance.
FEMA’s registration period, due to end July 20, has been extended to Sept. 1, 2023.
The extended registration deadline will provide more time for survivors living in remote areas as well as for residents in counties recently designated for federal disaster assistance. President Biden declared the federal disaster April 3, 2023. It covers damage caused by severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides and mudslides between Feb. 21 and July 10, 2023.
FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program may provide disaster assistance for eligible costs of home repairs, rental assistance for temporary housing, essential personal property, disaster-related medical and dental care, funeral expenses, transportation and childcare.
