FEMA mails postcards to assistance applicants

INDIANAPOLIS – If you live in Morgan County and applied for federal assistance for Indiana’s March 31 – April 1 storms, FEMA may soon be sending you a postcard. The postcard will let you know that FEMA is trying to contact you, and ask you to call the helpline at 800-621-3362. FEMA wants you to call as soon as possible so it can move your application forward.

If you use a relay service such as video relay service (VRS) or captioned telephone service, give FEMA your number for that service.

If you have insurance, make sure to send FEMA your insurance documents. These could include letters showing what your settlement covered, that your claim was denied, or that your claim has been delayed for more than 30 days. FEMA can’t duplicate insurance benefits, so we need to see that your losses aren’t already paid for in order to cover them.
