Homeowners and renters in St. Landry Parish apply for federal disaster assistance for uninsured and underinsured damage and losses resulting from Hurricane Delta.
St. Landry Parish officials say that to be eligible for federal disaster aid, storm damage and losses from the hurricane and flooding must have occurred as a result of Delta from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10, 2020.
The deadline to register is Dec. 16, 2020.
If you have already registered with FEMA for Hurricane Laura, you must register again to qualify for help after Delta. When there are two or more disasters declared for the same designated area, FEMA works to ensure applicants receive all eligible help while preventing duplication of federal benefits.

- Downloading the FEMA app at fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/app;
- Calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585). The toll-free telephone lines operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week; or by

FEMA assistance alone cannot make survivors whole. FEMA’s disaster assistance programs are designed to help with grants for basic repairs to make survivors’ homes safe, sanitary, and secure and to provide a temporary place to live while survivors develop their recovery plans.
