FEMA aid available in PA for disaster recovery from Ida-related storms
FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) announced that federal disaster assistance is now available in Pennsylvania to supplement state and local recovery efforts in areas affected by severe wind and flooding due to the remnants of Hurricane Ida. Those storms struck our area in early September.
Individual Assistance (IA) will aid individuals and households needing emergency repairs or replacement of homes damaged by Ida’s remnants throughout Southeastern PA. It is available to qualified residents of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and York Counties.
Individuals and business owners who sustained losses in the designated areas can begin applying for assistance by registering online at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/ or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585 TTY for the hearing and speech impaired. Operators can also answer questions about applications already submitted. We are waiting for a response on whether the term “businesses” includes churches. Learn more…
