WISCONSIN (NBC 26) — FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available for residents affected by the severe storms and tornadoes that tore through Wisconsin on July 27.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that $17.9 million would be available for those affected by the July storms. According to FEMA, the funding is available to residents in Forest, Outagamie, Vilas and Winnebago counties.
Watch here:
Federal officials say assistance can include grants for temporary housing, home repairs, low-interest loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help people recover.
Those who qualify should first file claims with their insurance providers and then apply for assistance online here, by calling 1-800-621-3362 or through the FEMA app.
If your insurance policy doesn't cover everything, FEMA could help cover left over costs.
