Federal Emergency Management Agency
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has activated its transitional shelter program, which allows those who cannot return to their homes because of storm damage to stay in participating hotels, motels or other housing. You must first register with FEMA at a recovery center, by calling (800) 621-3362 or by going to DisasterAssistance.gov.
