FEMA advises those affected to initially file claims with their insurance providers before applying for federal help. They can then register for assistance online at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/, by calling 1-800-621-3362 or by using the FEMA App.
Residents can also search for a center by entering their ZIP code at FEMA.gov/DRC.
