Seek Assistance

The application periods to apply for State and FEMA Individual Assistance, SBA Loans and Disaster Unemployment Assistance have been extended to February 20, 2026. Read important details below. 

If you have been impacted by Typhoon Halong, it is crucial that you register for both state and federal individual assistance programs and other forms of assistance.

  • Applying to multiple assistance programs increases your chances of receiving the full support your family needs, whether that's help with temporary housing, home repairs, personal property, transportation, or other essential needs.
  • Each program provides different types of support, and no single program covers every kind of loss — this is why it's important to apply for more than one.
  • Instructions and deadlines are listed below. You can apply online or over the phone.
  • If you need help with your applications, call the the number listed for each application.
