Many homes within Washtenaw County and neighboring counties were damaged during severe storms and heavy rainfall in late June resulting in a state of emergency declaration.

To register for assistance, residents will need to provide a social security number, daytime telephone number, current mailing address, the address of the damaged property and private insurance information.

Community members still need to register, even if home damage has been reported to local officials or to a FEMA representative during the preliminary assessments in early July.

Once registered, applicants will need to write down their unique registration number for further use.

Registration information is available in English and Spanish.
