FEMA Deadline Extension

FEMA has just announced that the deadline for applications from the April 16th tornado has been extended from today to Tuesday, July 5th.
North Carolina Emergency Management asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency for an extension, based on continued registrations that indicate some are still assessing their damage and need additional time to apply for aid. FEMA approved the extension, which also extends the deadline to return applications for disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
As of June 20th, more than 9,400 people in the 19 designated counties had registered with FEMA for disaster assistance. More than 4,900 SBA disaster loan applications have been sent to homeowners and renters, but only 16 percent have been returned.
To register for FEMA disaster assistance, call 800-621-3362 or online at www.DisasterAssitance.gov .
