You Go here...download the 2 page Form SF95 Form and underneath it  the instructions, which gives you the 3 departments to send the form  too...YOU WILL NEED 3 COPIES, one per each department. The likely scenario, is  your claim will be denied.  Here is what I received per Katrina  Justice...

Greetings,
Our lawsuit is not a class action lawsuit.  The main goal of the  Robinson v. 
United States lawsuit is to get a judgment of liability from the  judge that holds the Army Corps accountable for what we believe to be the  negligent design, construction, operation, and/or maintenance of the  MR-GO. 
 
If and when a favorable judgment is rendered, then our next objective is establishing a "Katrina Compensation Fund" for all the victims of Katrina in New Orleans. 
 
But before you do or consider anything, you and your wife must submit a  Form
95 claim to the proper governmental department.  There is a link for  the form along with instructions on our website (the Form 95 is fillable,  meaning you can click your mouse in each field and type directly into the field  on the computer and then save and/or print.
 
Unfortunately, because our firm or the other firms who represent the Plaintiffs in the Robinson action do not represent, we cannot provide you with  any legal advice concerning the validity or lack thereof of any claims you may  or 
may not have against the U.S. Government or the Army Corps.   Additionally, we 
cannot instruct you on what information to provide in the Form  95.  
Hopefully, the instructions will assist you in completing the Form 95. 
 
I hope this information helps.  
Best Regards,

The most devastating catastrophe in American history was not an accident. But  for the gross negligence of the United States Government—and particularly the  Army Corps of Engineers—large portions of Greater New Orleans would not have  been flooded. The evidence already available indicates that for decades the Army  Corps ignored warnings that its design, construction, and maintenance of the  Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (“MR-GO”) posed a clear and present danger to the  public health and safety of New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish. The multiple  failures of the Industrial Canal—and drowning of the Upper and Lower Ninth  Wards, New Orleans East, and St. Bernard Parish—were directly caused by the  foreseeable and foreseen funneling effect of wind-driven surges of water in the  MR-GO during Hurricane Katrina. 

The Army  Corps has refused to accept full responsibility for its dereliction of duty and  the loss of hundreds of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars in residential  and business property. Without a definitive court determination of the federal  government’s liability, the victims have no chance of receiving just  compensation for their financial losses. And without lawyers who have the skill,  courage, and financial resources to fight the Army Corps, there will be no  justice for Katrina victims. 

That is why  we have formed the Katrina Justice Litigation Group.  

We are seasoned trial lawyers from  Louisiana and elsewhere who have banded together on a pro bono basis to achieve  justice for Katrina victims. Based on a six-month investigation, we have  concluded that the Army Corps is legally responsible for the massive flooding of  the eastern areas of New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish. On April 25, 2006, we  filed in the federal court in New Orleans a Complaint against the Army Corps on  behalf of five residents whose requests for reparations were never even acted  upon by the Army Corps in the six months that they were pending. (A copy of our  Complaint can be downloaded from this website.) This lawsuit—Robinson v. United  States of America—will be a “test case” seeking to have a prompt determination  of the Army Corps’ 
legal liability for the flood damages.  

A victory for our representative  plaintiffs could be highly beneficial to thousands of similarly-situated  victims. The best way to protect your rights is to file a legally-required claim  form with the Army Corps of Engineers as soon as possible but in no event later  than August 27, 2007. 

If you do not file the claim form, you may not be able to recover from  the Army Corps. You may download a copy of this claim form from this website.  

Good Luck...Might as well go after the mail culprits, it will probably  not result to anything, but not submitting the forms, eliminates your chance compleltely.
 
 
Have a safe Memorial Day.
