Frequently Asked Questions
For inquiries related to disaster assistance, please call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or visit FEMA.gov.
- What is the advantage to a hotel or motel to become listed?
- Listed properties can put up Federal government employees and host federally funded conferences. This should provide a significant incentive - to be eligible for a share of the Federal government's annual $25,000,000,000 travel expenditures. This business will not be available to non-listed properties.
- How does a hotel get listed?
- A hotel must apply for listing. There is no charge for listing. The fastest and easiest way to apply is to register online.
- Who approves the hotel or motel?
- In each State, the Governor has appointed an official to give or deny approval for a property requesting to be included in the Master List. Usually, this official is the state fire marshal or his designee. A list of State Project Officers is also available at the USFA Website. If approved by the State Project Officer, USFA will add the property to the Master List.
- My hotel was built before the act was passed. Does it still have to comply with the act?
- Yes. There is no provision in the Act to exempt existing structures from compliance (commonly called "Grandfathering").
