I am quoting this almost in its entirety, since I am not clear on how unique the link is.
the Federal Emergency Management Agency ... ask[s] evacuees to call (800) 621-3362 or browse to www.fema.gov to start the process of filing a claim for disaster assistance...
It turns out, according to the [Red Cross] worker, who like the other aid workers spoke on condition of anonymity, that the call to the FEMA number does not open a claim; it results in a package containing the claim form being mailed to the address of the evacuee.
Since the evacuee is in a shelter, mail service has been suspended in many of the hardest hit areas and some of the homes are likely still under water, it seems clear that those claim forms won't be mailed back any time soon.

that's so...bloody bureaucratic.
