FEMA Specialists in Georgia Communities After Tropical Storm Debby

ATLANTA - FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance crews are in Georgia neighborhoods helping people apply for FEMA assistance after Tropical Storm Debby.

DSA teams wear FEMA attire and have federal photo identification badges. The teams go door to door in impacted neighborhoods to help people apply for federal assistance, check the status of an application, identify potential needs and make connections with organizations that can provide resources. DSA crews never ask for, or accept, money.

How to Apply

Homeowners and renters affected by Tropical Storm Debby Aug. 4 - Aug. 20, 2024 in Bryan, Bulloch, Chatham, Effingham, Evans, Liberty, Long and Screven counties can apply in several ways: Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov, use the FEMA App, or call 800-621-3362 any day of the week.
