For homeowners, renters and business owners: If you sustained losses or damage you may be eligible for disaster aid. When you apply for disaster assistance please have the following available:

• Social Security number
• Daytime telephone number where we can call you back
• Current mailing address where you are staying
• Address and zip code of the damaged property
• Directions to the damaged home or property
• Private insurance information, if available

Government disaster assistance covers basic needs only and will not normally compensate you for your entire loss. If you have insurance, the government may help pay for basic needs not covered under your insurance policy. Some disaster aid does not have to be paid back, while other assistance may come in the form of loans.
