I am writing because you have corresponded with me in the past, and I want
to provide you with a critical update on Federal Government disaster
assistance that is available for New Jersey residents harmed by Hurricane
Irene. If you yourself have not suffered damage, please forward this
information to any family or friends who may need assistance.
Yesterday, President Obama issued a Major Disaster Declaration for damage
resulting from Hurricane Irene in our state, which makes many New Jersey
residents eligible for a number of Federal disaster relief programs. These
programs offer grants and loans to individuals and loans to businesses.
The Federal Government has set up a website that allows people to apply
online for assistance: http://www.disasterassistance.gov
This website consolidates the application process across several Federal
agencies, including FEMA and the Small Business Administration. The website
also reduces the number of forms you will ultimately have to fill out,
shortens the time it takes to apply and allows you to check the progress of
your applications online.
If you want to apply by phone rather than the Internet, you can call 1-800-
621-FEMA (1-800-621-3362).
While the damage suffered across New Jersey is devastating, I know our state
can rebound quickly. Federal aid will play a crucial role in our recovery,
so please take advantage of the resources available. Please don't hesitate
to contact me anytime regarding this or other issues.
Sincerely, |
