FEMA Extends Deadline to Apply for Wildfire Disaster Assistance

March 10, 2025 Press Release PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has extended the deadline for Los Angeles wildfire victims to apply for federal aid to March 31, 2015. "While I have fought for a later deadline, this three-week extension provides immediate relief to those who have not registered yet," said Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) in reaction to the announcement. "I will continue to advocate for a longer application period, however the new deadline is March 31, and a further extension is unlikely." "Even if you do not know if you are eligible, apply now on both the FEMA and SBA websites," urged Congressman Sherman.
