ANCHORAGE, Alaska–While the April 3, 2026, disaster assistance application deadline has passed, help is still available for Alaskans impacted by Typhoon Halong. Survivors can call the FEMA Alaska Call Center at 1-866-342-1699 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for assistance with their application.

Stay in Touch with FEMA

After applying, FEMA will send you a decision letter by mail or email. If the letter from FEMA states that you were denied assistance, you have 60 days from the date on the letter to appeal the decision. FEMA may simply need additional information to continue processing your application.

The decision letter will explain the reason for FEMA’s determination and provide instructions on how to appeal. It is often as simple as a missing document, which you can upload to your FEMA application or submit with your appeal.

Survivors can receive assistance with their application or understanding the letter by:
