Oklahoma Residents Have One Day to Apply for Assistance

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahomans in Cleveland, McClain and Pottawatomie counties affected by the April 19-20 straight-line winds, tornadoes and severe weather have only one day left to apply for FEMA assistance. The deadline to apply is June 23.

Survivors who have insurance are encouraged to file a claim for disaster-caused damage before they apply for FEMA assistance. You do not need to wait for your insurance settlement to apply. FEMA may provide financial assistance to eligible survivors who have uninsured or underinsured disaster-caused damage or loss.

Apply online at disasterassistance.gov. The site is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

To apply by phone, call 800-621-3362. Assistance is available in most languages. The toll-free telephone lines operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CDT seven days a week. If you use video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service.
