The second is to call the United Way at 211 (like 411, or 911, but for RI assistance information). They will help offer services and track total numbers of claims to provide to FEMA, which ultimately helps the state get adequate federal funds released.
Don't forget, you will also need to file with your own private insurance company. Document all the lost and damaged items. Be as precise as possible, better to have more information than find out you did not have enough.
All questions should be directed to 211.
