The deadline for survivors of the June 25 –26 severe storms and flooding to register with FEMA for individual disaster assistance has been extended to Wednesday, October 13, 2021.

The extension applies to survivors living in Wayne and Washtenaw counties.

FEMA assistance for individuals and families can include money for rental assistance, essential home repairs, personal property losses and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance.

Residents can still apply for federal assistance with FEMA or appeal if you received a denial letter.

Denials are often because they need additional information and are not final. If you received a denial letter, go to a Disaster Recovery Center or call the FEMA Helpline!

There are 3 ways you can register with FEMA:

• Online at www.disasterassistance.gov and select Michigan Severe Storms

• Call the FEMA hotline 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585) Lines are open seven days a week from 7am to 11pm.

• In person at a Disaster Recovery Center (Kemeny Recreation Center - DPRD or The Salvation Army Conner Creek Corps & Community Center) **The Golightly Disaster Recovery Center is now CLOSED.
