WASHINGTON -- FEMA announced today that federal disaster assistance
is available to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to supplement
recovery efforts in the areas affected by Tropical Storm Debby from
Aug. 9-10, 2024.

The President’s action makes federal funding available to affected
individuals in Lycoming, Potter, Tioga and Union counties.

Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs,
low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs
to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of
the disaster.

Mark K. O’Hanlon has been named Federal Coordinating Officer for
federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Additional
designations may be made at a later date if requested by the
commonwealth and warranted by the results of further damage
assessments. 

Individuals and business owners who sustained losses in the designated
areas can begin applying for assistance by registering online at
www.DisasterAssistance.gov [https://www.disasterassistance.gov/], by
calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) or by using the FEMA App
[https://www.ready.gov/fema-app]. If you use a relay service, such as
video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give
FEMA the number for that service.
