FEMA Urges Flood, Storm Victims Across Multiple States to Apply Before August Deadlines

Federal agencies are urging residents affected by recent natural disasters to apply promptly for aid as deadlines approach. In West Virginia's Ohio County, FEMA is accepting applications for a new $770 Serious Needs Assistance program to cover essential items such as water and cleaning supplies, with applications open only until Friday. Similarly, Tennessee residents impacted by the severe storms and tornadoes in April have until August 19 to apply for FEMA aid, including low-interest disaster loans through the Small Business Administration, with help available both online and at local centers. Milwaukee is preparing for a FEMA assessment following devastating flash floods that caused extensive property damage and displacement, with community organizations distributing cleaning supplies to affected families. These efforts highlight ongoing federal and local support to assist flood and storm victims in recovery and rebuilding. Individuals are encouraged to utilize available resources quickly, as the window for federal assistance is limited.
