Residents have until Sept. 3 to apply for storm-related financial assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States Small Business Administration (SBA).
The aid can help with the cost of repairs due to storms and flooding that struck West Virginia on April 11 and 12.
Renters and homeowners in Boone, Hancock, Kanawha, Marshall, Ohio, Roane, Wetzel and Wood counties can seek financial aid from FEMA to cover their basic needs, property damages and repair projects tied to the inclement weather, among other costs.
Residents and business owners from these counties can also seek disaster relief loans from the SBA to offset financial losses from the storms.
Eligible parties seeking emergency aid from FEMA can apply for assistance online at disasterassistance.gov, by calling the agency at 1-800-621-3362 or by visiting their local disaster recovery center.
Residents and business owners can apply for SBA loans online at the agency’s website. They can also contact the SBA over the phone at 1-800-659-2955, or over email at disastercustomerservice@sba.gov.
