Abstract: The forms in this collection are used to obtain pertinent information to provide financial assistance, and if necessary, direct assistance to eligible individuals and households who, as a direct result of a disaster or emergency, have uninsured or under-insured, necessary or serious expenses they are unable to meet. To provide meaningful access to individuals with disabilities throughout FEMA programs, the revision to the collection will obtain pertinent disability-related information.

Emergency Justfication: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) seeks emergency approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to revise information collection 1660-0002 Disaster Assistance Registration to increase the types of documentation FEMA may accept from applicants for disaster assistance to demonstrate eligibility under the Individuals and Households Program (IHP). FEMA has recently become aware that current IHP requirements for verifying home ownership and occupancy pose a substantial barrier to underserved populations, including people of color and others adversely impacted by persistent poverty and inequality. These barriers often result in underserved applicants being denied for IHP assistance when they are unable to provide documentation verifying IHP eligibility within the current restrictions.
