SACRAMENTO – A FEMA Mobile Registration Intake Center opens in Susanville Tuesday, Nov. 17, for four days to serve Lassen County wildfire survivors.
The intake center is part of the ongoing response and recovery mission for FEMA and the state of California to assist survivors with disaster information.
It is located at Jensen Hall, Lassen County Fairgrounds, 195 Russell Ave., Susanville CA 96130. It will be open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 through Friday, Nov. 20.
The centers are temporary sites to support survivors with disaster information. They offer an optional opportunity for survivors to register, especially those without access to internet or telephone service.
Survivors also may register with FEMA in one of three ways:
- Online at DisasterAssistance.gov;
- By downloading the FEMA app to a smartphone or tablet; or
- By calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585) between 7 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. PST. Those who use a relay service such as a videophone, Innocaption or CapTel, should provide FEMA with the specific number assigned to that service when they register.
- The helpline staff can also answer questions about applications already submitted.
- Deadline to register for assistance under DR-4558 is Nov. 21.
Registration enables FEMA to determine residents’ eligibility for financial assistance that may include rent, home repair, home replacement and other serious disaster-related needs such as childcare, transportation and medical, funeral or dental expenses.
