Disaster Recovery Assistance

Printer-Friendly Version

The Department of Labor and fifteen other federal agencies have partnered with FEMA to create a Web resource, DisasterAssistance.gov (http://www.disasterassistance.gov), that consolidates information about federally funded government assistance to disaster victims.

DisasterAssistance.gov will help users to:

• identify the forms of assistance and qualification requirements
• allow users to check the status of their applications online
• provide information about forms of assistance available through other agencies that do not have online applications at this time

Users can register on the FEMA Web site (http://www.fema.gov/assistance/index.shtm) to apply for individual assistance and Small Business Administration loans.

In the event of natural disasters, the Department of Labor support includes income and job assistance as well as key announcements.
