Getting Assistance from FEMA

i worked in the social service world in nyc during and after 9/11, so i am very familiar with the FEMA application process. Info on how to apply for assistance is on FEMA's website here.

begin the process by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). give your name, your previous address in the disaster area, the place you're living now, contact phone number, etc, and you'll be assigned a FEMA identification number. It's important to do this as soon as possible, so that FEMA can begin hooking you up with available services.

Some things to ask about, which were eventually available through FEMA and local agencies for folks affected by the WTC:

Also call the hotline for the Red Cross - 1-866-GET-INFO
