FEMA Fax Number — Fax Disaster Assistance Documents
After a declared disaster, FEMA accepts faxed assistance appeals, insurance documentation, proof of residence, and identity verification at 800-827-8112. Disaster assistance runs on firm deadlines, so the date your documents reach FEMA can determine whether an appeal is considered. During active disasters FEMA sometimes publishes additional fax numbers tied to a specific event, but the 800-827-8112 line handles general disaster assistance paperwork.
