FEMA's Disaster Survivor Assistance crews (DSA) go door-to-door helping those affected by the August 24-26 tornado event. Residents impacted could expect a knock at their door if they were in areas affected by the event.
Hard-hit areas are expected to be visited first, including Eaton, Ingham, Ionia, Kent, and Livingston counties, as well as counties in southeast Michigan.
Crews are helping residents with the federal assistance process. They will be visiting residents, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Their goal is to help residents register for assistance and identify and address immediate needs while referring to other additional support to help in the aftermath of the event.
DSA crews will knock on the doors of those who might need assistance and will ask for personal information as well as social security numbers, annual income, and bank information. Residents are encouraged to always ask for identification before providing crews with personal information. These crews will be wearing a FEMA identification badge with a photo of them on it.
Those who need assistance don't have to wait for crews to come door-to-door. They can apply for assistance through FEMA's digital app or by clicking here.
