Home and business owners suffering damages from Hurricane Florence are getting a little more time to request federal government aid.
Gov. Roy Cooper announced Thursday’s previous deadline to apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency grants or for low-interest small business loans has been extended to Dec. 19. Cooper says he requested the extension, which a FEMA spokeswoman also confirmed.
More than 99,000 applications have been filed seeking help after the September storm’s record rains and flooding.
People can apply by calling 1-800-621-3362, going online, visiting a local disaster recovery center or using FEMA’s mobile app.
Cooper also wrote President Donald Trump lats week asking for federal disaster assistance in 21 counties that received damages from Hurricane Michael’s remnants in October.
