The extension to apply for $500 in critical needs funding for individuals impacted by the CZU August Lightning Complex fires is extended to Saturday. The Santa Cruz County Emergency Operations Center urges all residents to begin the disaster assistance application process immediately.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides a variety of disaster assistance
programs, including cash assistance to help cover immediate critical needs.
Residents impacted by the fires and who have out-of-pocket expenses, including hotel expenses, may also be eligible for FEMA funding. Residents should immediately register
with FEMA by visiting DisasterAssistance.gov, downloading the FEMA app for your
smartphone or calling 800-621-FEMA (3362).
Residents are also advised that if they have applied for FEMA assistance and have
received a letter saying their application cannot be processed, those letters do not constitute denials of applications. Those residents are urged to update damage estimates as they become available and to provide current contact information throughout the FEMA application process on FEMA’s website, DisasterAssistance.gov, or by calling 800-621-3362. All federal FEMA assistance is provided without discrimination, and U.S. citizenship is not required.
For those who have not begun the FEMA application process, be prepared to provide your social security number, insurance information, damage information, household financial information, and contact information. Direct deposit information for your financial institution may also be requested.
FEMA representatives will be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday at Paradox Hotel, 611 Ocean St., Santa Cruz. Assistance is also available at the Recovery Resource Center at Kaiser Permanente Arena, 140 Front St., Santa Cruz. FEMA assistance is located in the parking lot across Front Street from Kaiser Arena.
The RRC is open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. daily. No appointment needed.
In addition, a virtual Recovery Resource Center is available the Santa Cruz County Fire
Recovery website, www.santacruzcounty.us/firerecovery.aspx. Free disaster legal assistance is available to help navigate landlord-tenant, employment, FEMA benefits, insurance, repair and construction scams and loan repayment issues and more.
