DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is trying to reach Hurricane Ida evacuees who may be here in the Dallas area.
People who have left Louisiana to stay in out-of-state hotels or other locations in the Dallas area until they can return, should register with FEMA.
According to FEMA:
Individuals and households who have immediate or critical needs because they are displaced from their primary dwelling may be eligible for the Critical Needs Assistance program, which covers food, water, prescriptions, medical supplies and other life-saving and life-sustaining items. Critical Needs Assistance is a one-time $500 payment per household.
FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance, or TSA, program is now available to eligible residents of Louisiana who have been affected by Hurricane Ida. FEMA will identify survivors who may be eligible and have a need for this short-term emergency sheltering program.
“Keep any receipts from hotels stays and submit them when applying for assistance”, said Nate Custer, Media Relations Specialist with FEMA.
To register for assistance call 1-800 621-3362 or go to: disasterassistance.gov.
