BACKGROUND More than 800,000 individuals needed emergency assistance, such as housing, food, and clothing, after Hurricane Katrina struck the southern United States in 2005. That year, more than 2.7 million people applied for FEMA assistance. Since Hurricane Katrina, more than 200 presidentially declared national disasters have been declared to date. These events have caused injury and death, destroyed homes and businesses, and disrupted the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation. DisasterAssistance.gov is the result of Executive Order 13411, which requires the government to simplify the process of identifying and applying for disaster assistance. Executive Order 13411 was issued in response to the confusion and frustration people encountered when they asked for help from multiple federal programs following Hurricane Katrina. All federal agencies that offer forms of assistance to those affected by disaster are working closely to turn this vision into reality. The initial DisasterAssistance.gov website launched December 31, 2008, with disaster assistance programs administered at the federal level. Following the initial launch, additional forms of assistance will be added, expanding FEMA Prepared. Responsive. Committed.

Executive Order 13411 was issued in response to the confusion and frustration people encountered when they asked for help from multiple federal programs following Hurricane Katrina. All federal agencies that offer forms of assistance to those affected by disaster are working closely to turn this vision into reality. The initial DisasterAssistance.gov website launched December 31, 2008, with disaster assistance programs administered at the federal level.
