Federal disaster assistance is available for residents and business owners in 16 West Virginia counties hit by a June windstorm.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency says the individual assistance can be used to pay for home repairs, rental assistance, disaster-related medical, dental and funeral expenses, and repair or replacement of uninsured personal property.
The Small Business Administration is offering low-interest loans to pay for business and residential losses that aren’t covered by insurance.
The June 29 derecho and subsequent storms left three people dead and more than 680,000 customers without electricity across the state.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin asked FEMA to add the counties to a federal disaster declaration issued in July.
The counties are: Boone, Cabell, Clay, Greenbrier, Jackson, Lincoln, Mason, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Monroe, Pocahontas, Roane, Tyler, Webster, and Wood.
