Disaster Assistance Registration is a
program used to provide financial assistance and, if necessary,
direct assistance to eligible individuals and households who, as a
direct result of a disaster, have uninsured or under-insured,
necessary expenses and serious needs and are unable to meet such
expenses or needs through other financial means.
