ST. PAUL – Minnesotans who applied for federal assistance may need to follow-up with FEMA and provide more information or documents to move their application forward. Those who still need help recovering after the June 16 – July 4 storms and flooding and haven’t yet applied, still have time to do so too.

After you apply for FEMA assistance, don’t wait to apply for a loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration too. You aren’t required to apply for an SBA loan to be considered for FEMA grants, but you could miss out on SBA’s help with disaster-related expenses that FEMA assistance doesn’t cover.

ST. PAUL – FEMA is hiring Minnesota residents to support the June 16 – July 4 disaster recovery effort.

ST. PAUL – A FEMA/State Disaster Recovery Center will open Friday, August 16, 2024, to help residents kickstart their recovery after the severe storms and flooding of June 16 – July 4.

Minnesota residents who applied for FEMA assistance after severe storms and flooding from June 16 – July 4, 2024, will receive a letter from FEMA in the mail or via email. The letter will explain the status of your application and how to respond if you disagree with FEMA’s decision or need more assistance. It is important to read the letter carefully.
