San Diego, Calif. — The home inspection is a critical step in the FEMA application process. Failure to meet with the home inspector prevents the application from moving forward. Home Inspectors can verify ownership and identify items in a home that may make you eligible for assistance. If survivors have already cleaned up or made repairs, they can share documentation and pictures with the inspector to verify the damage from the Jan. 21-23, 2024, severe storm and flooding. After applying for FEMA assistance, FEMA may call survivors to schedule an appointment to inspect the damage to their home. This call may come from an unknown or restricted phone number — it is important that survivors answer this call so that applications can move forward.
