If you have been impacted by the January 9, 2023 storm, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established a grace period for individuals and businesses to apply for disaster assistance.

FEMA is allowing a grace period of 60 days after the end of the disaster assistance registration period (March 16, 2023). For Santa Barbara County, late applications must be submitted no later than May 15, 2023. Applications must include a statement letter that explains the extenuating circumstances that prevented them from applying for assistance in a timely manner. Examples of extenuating circumstances include hospitalization, death of an immediate family member, and being out of the area and unaware of the damages and/or losses.

Additional information on late applications for FEMA assistance can be found on page 71 of the FEMA Individual Assistance Program and Policy Guide.
