Additional Iowa counties approved for assistance
Three additional counties have been added to the previously approved Major Disaster Declaration, FEMA DR-4784-IA, for Iowa counties where significant damage was sustained from severe storms and widespread flooding that occurred between May 20 and May 31.
In addition to Adair, Polk, Story and Montgomery counties, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration are now authorized to provide assistance to Adams, Cedar and Jasper counties.
Residents in these counties can now apply for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Individual Assistance Program, which provides disaster-affected homeowners, renters and businesses with programs and services to maximize recovery, including assistance with housing, personal property replacement, medical expenses and legal services.
Individuals and business owners who sustained losses in the designated areas can begin applying for assistance by calling 1-800-621-3362. Other options include registering online at www.disasterassistance.gov.
