These DRC s will provide disaster registrants in the areas they are serving with an opportunity to check on the status of their applications and meet with federal and state disaster program specialists, as well as loan representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Those impacted by wildfires are urged to register for assistance first by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). The TTY number is1.800.462.7585 for those who are speech- or hearing-impaired. After applying, those who have questions may visit any center and meet face-to-face with recovery specialists.

Applicants may also register online by going to the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov and clicking on the button in the upper right-hand portion of the page marked Register for Disaster Assistance Online.
