FEMA sending out postcards to those seeking federal assistance

INDIANA – If you applied for federal assistance for Indiana's March 31 – April 1 storms, FEMA will send you a postcard.

The postcard will let you know that FEMA is trying to contact you and ask you to call the helpline at 800-621-3362. Please call as soon as possible so your application can move forward.

If you use a relay service such as video relay service (VRS) or captioned telephone service, give FEMA your number for that service.

If you have insurance, make sure to send FEMA your insurance documents. These could include letters showing what your settlement covered, that your claim was denied, or that your claim has been delayed for more than 30 days. FEMA can't duplicate insurance benefits, so officials need to see that your losses aren't already paid for to cover them.

To submit your documents:
