FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) crews are on the ground in Jasper County to help Hurricane Helene survivors in need of FEMA assistance.
If you live in Jasper County, be on the lookout for DSA crews. They will be going door-to-door to help answer questions about FEMA assistance. DSA specialists wear FEMA attire and have federal photo identification badges.
DSA specialists can help residents 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.
If you miss the opportunity to speak with a FEMA specialist, you can still get your questions answered in person at a Disaster Recovery Center. To find a center close to you, please go to fema.gov/drc or text “DRC” and a Zip Code to 43362. You can also call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 and speak with a FEMA representative on the phone.
