OKLAHOMA CITY – After Oklahoma residents apply for disaster assistance, they may receive a call from FEMA seeking more information to process the application, or to schedule an inspection. Survivors should remember that these calls often come with unfamiliar area codes and phone numbers.

It is important for applicants to answer FEMA’s call. For example, an inspection may be required to determine whether a home is safe, functional and accessible, or to verify the current state of the property. Without an inspection, there may be a delay in FEMA’s review of the application.

There is no charge for an inspection, and the inspector will have FEMA photo identification and the application number. Remember, FEMA representatives will never ask for money.

If you receive a call from someone claiming to be a FEMA representative, you can reach out to the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 to verify the caller’s identity.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas homeowners and renters in Greene County are now eligible for FEMA grants after the April 2-22 severe storms, flooding and tornadoes.

Eligible applicants with damage not covered by insurance may qualify for grants for temporary housing, basic home repairs and other eligible expenses related to storm damage. Greene County joins the 16 counties previously approved for FEMA assistance after the April storms including Clark, Clay, Craighead, Crittenden, Desha, Fulton, Hot Spring, Jackson, Miller, Ouachita, Pulaski, Randolph, St. Francis, Saline, Sharp and White counties.

Residents with homeowners’ or renters’ insurance are encouraged to file a claim as soon as possible with their insurance carrier.

Survivor assistance from the March 14-15 storms remains available for residents in Greene, Hot Spring, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Randolph, Sharp and Stone counties.

If you were affected by both the March 14-15 and the April 2-22 disasters, you are encouraged to file a separate FEMA application for each. The deadline for the March storms is Monday, July 14. The last day to apply for the April storms is Tuesday, July 22.

BOTHELL, Wash. –  The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) authorized the use of federal funds to help with firefighting costs for the Himalaya Road Fire burning in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, Alaska. 

The state of Alaska’s request for a declaration under FEMA’s Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) program was approved by FEMA Region 10 Deputy Acting Administrator Anthony J. Morea on Monday, June 23, 2025, at 8:19 p.m. PT. He determined that the Himalaya Road Fire threatened to cause such destruction as would constitute a major disaster. This is the second FMAG declaration in 2025 to help fight Alaska wildfires. 

At the time of the state’s request, the wildfire threatened homes in and around the communities of Himalaya, Haystack, Hayes Creek, and Fox. The fire also threatened powerlines, cell towers, watersheds, fishing streams, spawning sites, wildlife, cultural resources, and part of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. 

FMAGs make funding available to pay up to 75 percent of a state’s eligible firefighting costs for fires that threaten to become major disasters. Eligible items can include expenses for field camps, equipment use, materials, supplies and mobilization and demobilization activities attributed to fighting the fire. These grants do not provide assistance to individual home or business owners and do not cover other infrastructure damage caused by the fire.
