Homeowners or renters deemed eligible could receive disaster assistance grants through FEMA's Individual Assistance program and may also qualify for a low-interest disaster loan, along with businesses, through the Small Business Administration.
FEMA currently is supporting the state of Missouri with the Major Disaster Declaration for Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Straight-line Winds and Flooding that occurred December 23, 2015 - January 9, 2016.
The President's action on January 21, 2016 allows those homeowners, renters and businesses in many Missouri counties including Camden, Cole, Hickory, Laclede and Morgan to name a few, the ability to apply for federal disaster assistance under the Individual & Household Program (IHP). This means homeowners, renters and business owners in these counties can apply for disaster assistance online or by phone from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week at 800-621-3362.
