Federal Assistance Available for Flooding Recovery

WHEATON, Ill. – President Obama approved Illinois Governor Pat Quinn’s request for federal assistance to help people in 11 counties – including DuPage County – recover from historic flooding in mid-April. This means that Wheaton residents who experienced flooding damage can now apply for federal grants and loans to assist with storm-related losses.

The federal disaster declaration makes assistance available to flood victims, including grants to individuals and households to help with temporary housing, home repairs or replacement and other disaster-related expenses, as well as low-interest SBA loans to residents and businesses.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers this assistance program. To apply for assistance, visit www.disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).
