Disaster recovery officials continue to urge anyone affected by Hurricane Irene to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – even those survivors who are receiving insurance settlements.

Recovery officials in the field are finding that some residents who have accepted insurance settlements believe no further aid is available to them.
