Public assistance will allow municipalities and certain non profits to rebuild roads and infrastructure.
Individual assistance will allow residents and businesses to file for federal assistance. Applications may be submitted beginning tomorrow, September 1 by calling 1-800-FEMA (3362), or filing on-line by logging onto www.disasterassistance.gov. Hearing impaired individuals using TTY may call 1-800-462-7585, or via video relay at 1-800-621-3362. These phone lines are available from 7 AM to 10 PM seven days a week.
