FEMA Accessible: Answering Yes to the Disability Question When Registering for Assistance
**ALERT**Alert for people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs. Registration QUESTION #24!!! Answer YES to this question if you have a disability, special needs, or other health or medical condition. This is the best way to note any additional disability related losses and/or needs such as, medical support assistance, durable medical equipment repairs or replacement or assistive technology that was lost or damaged as a result of the disaster. (Examples include: wheelchair, scooter, walker, CPAP machine, hearing aids, eyeglasses, screen reader).
