Do you know a senior or a person with access and functional needs who was impacted by the March 12-June 15 floods and may still need flood-recovery help? There’s still time to call FEMA for possible assistance before the July 1 deadline.
‘Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today’ is a familiar statement we all have heard when it comes to deciding when to complete a task or balance a busy life. Well that same advice could not be more relevant when it comes to applying for FEMA disaster assistance.
Repairing damage after a disaster can be expensive. In cases of severe damage, the costs can be staggering. However, many projects can be done for little or no money. Most can make a big difference in the next disaster and provide the extra bonus of lowering utility and home-maintenance costs year-round.
Iowa residents in the nine disaster-designated counties —Fremont, Harrison, Louisa, Mills, Monona, Pottawattamie, Scott, Shelby and Woodbury— may be eligible for federal assistance if they were impacted by the severe storms and flooding from March 12 through May 16. The registration cutoff date is July 1.
The severe flooding March 12–May 16 affected thousands of Iowa residences and businesses and caused millions of dollars of damage. Floods are the most common and costly natural disasters in the United States.
