Do you need to apply for someone else?

Sometimes a person affected by a disaster is not able to apply for themselves. In these cases, FEMA allows someone else to apply for them, as long as they can give us all of the information we need.

If you will be helping someone else through the process, they must give FEMA a signed Release of Information (PDF 672 KB) form that allows you to access their file.

It's important you understand that your application becomes a legal document. FEMA may use outside sources to verify the information you enter.
