Need a Place to Stay Now?
When disaster strikes, safety comes first. Here's where to find immediate shelter in the US :
Call 211: This hotline connects you with local resources, including emergency housing
FEMA Shelters: FEMA opens shelters during disasters. Text SHELTER and your ZIP code to 43362, use the FEMA app, or search online
Red Cross Shelters: The Red Cross also provides shelters. Find one near you on their online map
Short-Term Housing: Catching Your Breath
Once you're safe, you'll need temporary housing while you figure things out:
Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA): If you qualify for FEMA aid, TSA may cover your hotel stay
Extended-Stay Hotels: These hotels have kitchens and workspaces, ideal for longer stays. Many offer free breakfast and lower rates for extended stays
Corporate Housing: Furnished apartments or homes, often in the suburbs, can be a good option
Longer-Term Options: Rebuilding Your Life
If your home needs major repairs, you may need longer-term housing:
Rental Assistance: FEMA may help pay your rent if your home is unlivable
Direct Temporary Housing: When rentals are scarce, FEMA may provide temporary housing like trailers or manufactured homes
