Homeowners and renters in Brantley and Fulton counties who had uninsured damage or losses caused by Hurricane Helene can now apply for

There are several ways to apply: Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov, use the FEMA App, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 or visit a Disaster Recovery Center. The FEMA Helpline is open every day and help is available in most languages.

The deadline to apply is February 7, 2025.

What You’ll Need When You Apply:

• 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.
