Application Deadline Extended for FEMA Individual Assistance

Vermonters affected by both July severe weather events have until November 25, 2024, to apply for FEMA individual assistance.  

For the July 9-11 disaster, the deadline was extended from October 21 to November 25 for individuals and households in Addison, Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Lamoille, Orleans, and Washington counties.

For the July 29-31 disaster, the deadline remains November 25 for individuals and households in Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans counties who were impacted. 

If you were affected by these severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, you should apply as soon as possible. Vermonters affected by both July storms should submit separate applications for each event.

FEMA may be able to help with temporary housing, home repairs, privately-owned roads and bridges, and other disaster-related needs – and the faster you apply, the sooner you can get aid.

There are four ways to apply:

• Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov.
• Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362.
• Download the FEMA’s Mobile App.
• Visit a Disaster Recovery Center. For location and hours, visit fema.gov/drc.
