Is there a map of the qualifying area? More on injury criteria?

In my case I was injured, suffering broken bones, while trying to get
further away from the World Trade Center Tower 2 when it started to
collapse. Since the tower was very tall it seemed at the time that it would
fall my way. On Sept 11 I was taken to New Jersey and a NYPD officer took a
statement from me after the hospital finished doing a closed reduction on my
fractured radius and a splint, I haven't heard anything since. Because I
was able to get around a corner to get protection, I was not hit by debris,
but I was hurt trying to avoiding being hit. The injuries required surgery
later on. Is there something more to clarify this area. Most of the info I
see on the website seems geared to people who were killed....Thanks
