Those who experienced flood damage this past February have just over a week left to register for federal disaster assistance with services done by flood damage carpet drying in Brisbane. The deadline is Thursday, July 5.
Water damage gets worse over time, so it’s important to act quickly. It’s important to call a local water damage restoration company as soon as possible to minimize the damage. The longer you wait, the more damage will be done.
You can apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. A FEMA Disaster Recovery Center remains open today through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Rensselaer Fire Department at 1060 West Clark.
Marshall, Starke, Pulaski, and LaPorte County residents who experienced uninsured flood damage at their primary residence are encouraged to register. FEMA’s individual assistance grants are designed to help with the cost of bringing damaged homes back to a safe and functional standard. At Water Mold Fire Restoration we can repair parts of your home that has suffered water damage, you can check our locations here.
Homeowners and renters may also apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, up to $200,000 for a homeowner’s primary residence and up to $40,000 for personal property. For more information, visit sba.gov/disaster.
If you’ve already registered with FEMA and have been found ineligible, FEMA officials say to read your letter carefully to understand why. If FEMA asks for more information, there’s a chance you may be reconsidered for assistance, if you send it within 60 days.
Additionally, Starke, Pulaski, and LaPorte County residents whose employment was lost or interrupted by the storms and flooding may also be eligible for Disaster Unemployment Assistance. More information can be found on the Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s website or by calling 800-891-6499. Applications for Disaster Unemployment Assistance are due by July 9.
