For renters and homeowners in Jackson and Jasper counties who had losses in the June tornadoes and severe storms, the deadline to apply for FEMA assistance is near. Oct. 11 is the last day to apply. If you haven’t applied, here are some reasons to consider applying.

Renters and homeowners in Jackson and Jasper counties who were affected by the June 14-19 tornadoes and severe storms have two weeks to apply for assistance. Oct. 11 is the last day to apply.

If you are a resident of Jackson and Jasper counties who applied for FEMA assistance for recovery from the June tornadoes, you will get a letter from FEMA. If that letter states “Assistance Not Approved,” take the time to understand why. A “no” may become a “yes.”
