INDIANA, USA — Indiana homeowners and renters in Allen, Benton, Clinton, Grant, Howard, Johnson, Lake, Monroe, Morgan, Owen, Sullivan, and White counties who were affected by the March 31 – April 1 severe storms, straight-line winds and tornadoes may apply for FEMA disaster assistance.
Head to DisasterAssistance.gov, call 800-621-3362, or use the FEMA mobile app.
The helpline is open and available from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. ET in most languages.
If you use a relay service such as video relay service, or VRS, captioned telephone service or others, you can give FEMA the number for that service.
Assistance for uninsured losses may include temporary lodging, basic home repairs and other disaster-related expenses.
If you have homeowners or renters insurance, you should file a claim as soon as possible - FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance.
FEMA said their assistance cannot replace all losses, but if your policy does not cover all your disaster expenses, you may be eligible for federal assistance.
Beginning April 19, FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) teams will be going door-to-door in neighborhoods in those counties to help residents apply for assistance.
DSA teams wear FEMA attire and have federal photo identification badges, and there is no charge for the service.
When you apply for assistance, please have the following information ready:
- A current phone number where you can be contacted
- Your address at the time of the disaster and the address where you are now staying
- Your Social Security Number
- A general list of damage and losses
- Banking information if you choose direct deposit
- If insured, the policy number or the agent and/or the company name
The deadline to apply for FEMA assistance is June 14, 2023. For an accessible video on how to apply for assistance, watch here.
Tornado survivors are eligible for those funds after FEMA approved disaster assistance on April 15 for areas affected by storms.
