STATE, FEMA CONTINUE RECOVERY WORK IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA

WAYNESVILLE, N.C. – The deadline for individuals and households to
apply for FEMA disaster assistance has passed, but work continues to
support Western North Carolina’s recovery from Tropical Storm Fred.

Survivors in Buncombe, Haywood and Transylvania counties who
registered with FEMA can check the status of their applications, ask
questions and get information in several ways:

 	* Visit FEMA’s website at DisasterAssistance.gov
[https://www.fema.gov///C:/Users/emcknigh/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/ZRDBE163/DisasterAssistance.gov]
 	* Use the FEMA App
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-app-text-messages]
for smartphones
 	* Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (800-462-7585 TTY).
Multilingual operators are available. Those who use a relay service
such as a videophone, InnoCaption or CapTel should provide FEMA with
their specific phone number assigned to that service.

Survivors who were unable to register before the Nov. 8 deadline and
who can provide justification for late registration may contact FEMA
and request consideration to apply.

Two months after the major disaster declaration, more than $18 million
in federal grants, loans and flood insurance payments have been
approved for homeowners, renters and businesses in Buncombe, Haywood
and Transylvania counties. This includes:

 	* $3.18 million in FEMA grants for 673 individuals and households.
 	* $3.5 million in disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business
Administration for businesses, homeowners and renters.
 	* $11.8 million in National Flood Insurance Program claims paid to
policyholders.

FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance Teams went door-to door in Buncombe,
Haywood and Transylvania counties conducting outreach to 2,600 homes
and making contact with 2,000 individuals to offer help with
registration and provide referrals to address unmet needs.

FEMA continues to coordinate with the State of North Carolina on
reimbursement for emergency services, debris removal, repair or
replacement of damaged public infrastructure and funding to mitigate
against losses from future storms.
