FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance Crews in Communities

OKLAHOMA CITY – FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance crews are going door-to-door in Blaine, Caddo, Custer, Delaware, Jackson, Mayes, Muskogee and Rogers counties to meet with residents affected by the May 19-28 storms and tornadoes.

These crews can help you apply for FEMA assistance, identify needs and make connections with local, state, federal and voluntary agencies. They can also:

• Provide flyers explaining how to apply for assistance
• Check the status of an application and make minor changes
• Contact community groups, faith-based organizations and businesses that can distribute information about disaster assistance
• Identify organizations providing recovery-related services or resources
• Gather information about impacts to communities
• Share civil rights and disability integration resources to ensure equal access

FEMA staff carry a badge with their photograph, and will never ask for money. If you meet people offering assistance, ask to see their ID before giving any personal information.
