"January 20, 2009, is the last day applications will be accepted for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Individual Assistance program," said Mark Neveau, federal coordinating officer. Loan applications to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for disaster-related losses to real and personal property must be submitted by January 21, 2009. Federal and state disaster recovery officials urge those who have not applied, to do so as soon as possible by calling the toll-free application and help number 1-800-621-3362 (FEMA) (TTY 1-800-462-7585) or register online at www.fema.gov. After the January 20 application deadline, FEMA's toll-free phone lines will still be available to help people who have already registered. "Even if you have insurance and believe all your losses are covered, we urge you to register if you've had wildfire damages. If you find some losses weren't covered, it will be too late to apply for federal-state assistance after January 20, 2009," said Tom Maruyama, deputy state coordinating officer. ---------------------------------------------------------- Sylmar LAC Transitions to Disaster Recovery Center Release Date: December 1, 2008 Release Number: 1810-016 PASADENA, Calif. -- The Sylmar Local Assistance Center (LAC) transitions to a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 2.
