FEMA deadline Nov. 8; ROE deadline is Nov. 15

The deadline to register with FEMA and Small Business Administration is today, Nov. 8.

Plumas County residents who have been impacted by fires should call 800-621-3362 to see if they qualify.

In addition, this is a reminder that the deadline to file a Right of Entry form is Nov. 15.

So there are two dates to remember: Nov. 8 and Nov. 15.

FEMA information

Assistance from FEMA may include funds for temporary housing while you are unable to live in your home, such as rental assistance or reimbursement for hotel costs; funds to support the repair or replacement of owner-occupied homes that serve as the household’s primary residence, including privately-owned access routes, such as driveways, roads, or bridges; and funds for disaster-caused expenses and serious needs, such as repair or replacement of personal property and vehicles, funds for moving and storage, medical, dental, child care and other miscellaneous items.

Survivors are encouraged to file insurance claims for damage to their homes, personal property, businesses and vehicles before they apply for FEMA assistance. The easiest way to apply is online at DisasterAssistance.gov. Survivors who may need to request an accommodation or have additional questions can call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585) from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. PT, seven days a week. Multilingual operators are available.

Right of Entry

Under the program homeowners enroll through a Right of Entry (ROE) packet that can be completed on- line or in person. The ROE functions as a permit that allows the State’s contractors to enter the property and remove debris. Deadline is Nov. 15.
