HOW TO FILE YOUR FLOOD INSURANCE CLAIM - FEMA
If you have insurance, contact your insurance company and file a claim. Be sure to take pictures before, during and after the disaster. HELPFUL HINT: Make sure to talk to your agent about your coverage before a disaster. If your insurance does not cover all of your needs, such as money to pay for a place to stay while you fix your house (sometimes called additional living expense coverage), you may be eligible for money from the federal government. The federal government cannot give you money for items that insurance covers, but we may be able to help with uncompensated losses. If your insurance company is going to take a long time to settle your claim, you may also be eligible for help.
If you do not have insurance, or have emergency needs that insurance does not cover --- Call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) - TTY 1-800-462-7585 - to apply for federal disaster assistance. If you need assistance CCDRA volunteers are here to help!
