This video encourages people with disabilities or others with access and functional needs to reply 'Yes' to Question #24 when applying for FEMA disaster assistance.
[Transcript:]
Please pay special attention to question number 24 about people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs. Answer "yes" to this question if you have a disability, accessibility need, or another health or medical condition.
This is the best way to note any additional disability-related losses and/or needs such as medical support assistance, durable medical equipment repairs, or replacement of assistive technology that was lost or damaged as a result of the disaster. Examples include wheelchair, scooter, walker, CPAP machine, hearing aids, eyeglasses, screen reader.
This question will also help applicants identify other services for which they may be eligible to receive reimbursement.
Remember, FEMA is here to support you before, during, and after disasters.
