St. John's Group Email FW: Federal Disaster Declaration

The President has approved a federal disaster declaration for individuals in the Missouri counties of Butler, Mississippi, New Madrid, St. Louis, and Taney.  (This does NOT include the City of St. Louis.)  Please help disseminate this information to our Lutheran congregations.  If you have family members or friends in these counties who may have been impacted by the recent tornadoes or flooding please strongly encourage them to register with FEMA, even if they are not sure if they would be eligible for assistance.

 

 

Individuals and business owners who sustained losses in the designated county can begin applying for assistance today by registering online at http://www.disasterassistance.gov, by web enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA(3362) or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired.  The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (local time) seven days a week until further notice.
