“The A is to apply for aid. This means seeking out FEMA grants, mutual aid funds, and any other assistance programs that can either provide you with the things you need or the money to get those things.”
Wildfire victims may qualify for FEMA assistance, including housing support, financial aid, and more. If you haven’t applied yet, visit DisasterAssistance.gov to get started. The deadline to apply for FEMA assistance is March 10, 2025.
