[FEMA has shown a remarkable degree of fairness](/fema-extends-disaster-assistance-and-hotel-shelter-program-deadlines/) in extending its deadlines to register for disaster assistance, and it actually comes as no surprise that they have done so again.

The previous deadline was set for today February 27, but has been extended another 30 days to March 29\. The deadline also extends to complete and return low-interest SBA disaster loan applications to the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Here are the relevant details:
