Homeowners, renters affected by the Maui wildfires have an extra month to apply for financial help
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration have announced that disaster aid for those affected by the Maui wildfires has been extended to November 9. FEMA’s website has more details and an ‘Apply for Assistance’ button for immediate action.
“Homeowners and renters who were affected by the Aug. 8 wildfires on Maui now have until Thursday, Nov. 9, to apply for federal disaster assistance from FEMA and submit an application for a physical disaster loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration,” according to FEMA’s website. “Businesses with economic losses can apply for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) until May 10, 2024. Survivors are encouraged to file insurance claims for damage to their homes, personal property and vehicles before they apply for FEMA assistance, which is available to eligible individuals and households.”
