WEST VIRGINIA – According to a news release from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, more than $1 million has been approved for West Virginia residents who live in one of the four counties declared Major Disasters by President Donald Trump last week.
“Thanks to state efforts and the hard work of FEMA and the Trump administration, over $1 million in individual assistance has already been approved for West Virginians affected by the floods,” said Governor Patrick Morrisey. “I encourage those in the designated counties to continue to apply for assistance and connect with the Disaster Recovery Centers for any help needed through the process.”
“Reaching this milestone has been a team effort,” Federal Coordinating Officer Mark O’Hanlon said. “FEMA is here and working side-by-side with our West Virginia partners to ensure our mission is done quickly and efficiently. I want to thank our state and local partners, because FEMA could not have reached this milestone without them. We will continue to push forward and support the people of West Virginia who were impacted by the February 15 storm.
In our area there are Disaster Recovery Centers in Mercer and McDowell Counties. You can also apply for aid at DisasterAssistance.gov, by calling 1-800-621-3362, or using the FEMA mobile app.
