FEMA Disaster Application Process

I agree to have my idea, not my name or information, posted online.:
Yes

Change the NEMIS system that takes disaster applications for data to be entered by Applicant's social security number. Keep one file on each person and just add tabs whenever they are in a different disaster. Currently, every year, many of the same disaster areas and people data are re-entered year after year and we have to keep starting over to collect data and update our system. We need to carry the information over from year to year so we don't have to keep re-inventing the wheel and reuse information already on file. That way when we replace furnaces or have duplications of household individuals and such, we have the past information to assist us and this can avoid overpayments, quicker processing, and avoid waste of time researching and regathering information. This would make the application process much faster for the applicant as well.
