The deadline to apply for federal assistance following the May 24-27 storms in northern Arkansas is fast approaching.
According to a press release from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), those affected by the storms have until August 28 to apply for federal assistance. Officials state anyone who had loss or damage should apply with FEMA even if they do not have repair estimates or insurance settlements yet.
To be considered, people in the impacted areas need to register with FEMA to begin the process. FEMA representatives will work with survivors to identify what information is needed to determine eligibility.
FEMA has distributed more than $19.9 million total federal assistance to survivors of the May storms including $6.2 million in FEMA assistance approved for 1,758 households and $13.7 million in U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loans approved.
Those eligible for assistance include residents affected in Baxter, Benton, Boone, Fulton, Greene, Madison, Marion or Randolph counties which may include temporary lodging, basic home repairs, personal property losses and other uninsured disaster-related expenses.
To apply for FEMA disaster assistance visit DisasterAssistance.gov or call 800-621-3362.
