“The Individual Assistance program will provide relief to those in need and aid our recovery efforts across southern West Virginia.”
FEMA will begin accepting applications for assistance in the newly approved counties and will assess potential sites for Disaster Recovery Centers.
Meanwhile, Governor Morrisey’s request for Public Assistance remains under FEMA’s review.
