Before You Clean Up, Document All Damage First

SAIPAN — The CNMI Joint Information Center is urging Typhoon Sinlaku survivors to photograph or video all storm damage before beginning any cleanup, according to a public advisory issued Friday at 5:00 p.m.

Documentation of damage supports both FEMA applications and insurance claims. Residents should also keep all receipts for any repairs or purchases made during recovery.

To apply for FEMA individual assistance: visit DisasterAssistance.gov, download the FEMA app on Google Play or the Apple App Store, or call 1-800-621-3362 or (671) 735-1050. Standard long-distance rates may apply.
