NEWINGTON, NH. -- York County Maine residents who suffered damages from the May flooding and have not registered for assistance have just three days left to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The final day to register with FEMA and return the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loan application is July 24, 2006.
Homeowners, renters and business owners in York County, who sustained damage from the flooding, are urged to call FEMA's toll-free number at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462-7585 for those with a hearing or speech impairment. Operators are available 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday-Friday until further notice.
Applicants with access to a computer can also register online by going to the FEMA Web site at www.fema.gov. If you are underinsured or uninsured, you should apply for assistance by contacting FEMA.
When calling or registering online, applicants should have their current phone number; address at the time of the disaster; address where they are staying; social security number; list of damages and losses suffered; name of insurance company, agent, policy number; general financial information; and bank account coding for direct deposit.
Monday, July 24 is also the deadline for returning the SBA loan application.
FEMA manages federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates mitigation activities, works with state and local emergency managers, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003.
