The assistance includes housing repairs or temporary housing, U.S. Small Business Administration low-interest loans to repair or replace damaged property, unemployment assistance, and grants for needs and disaster expenses not met by other programs.
Assistance was previously approved for Canadian, Cherokee, Creek, Delaware, Kay, Le Flore, Logan, Mayes, Muskogee, Noble, Nowata, Okmulgee, Osage, Ottawa, Payne, Pottawatomie, Rogers, Sequoyah, Tulsa, Wagoner and Washington counties.
FEMA will have teams in the declared counties to help people register for aid.
