FEMA Deadline Extended to January 9th!

North Carolina Disaster Assistance Deadline Extended to Jan. 9, 2017

At the request of the State of North Carolina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved a 31-day extension for Hurricane Matthew survivors to apply for federal disaster assistance.

The state has requested more time for registration because a number of counties were added for Individual Assistance several weeks after the original Oct. 10 presidential disaster declaration.

Survivors now have until Jan. 9, 2017, to register with FEMA. This new deadline also applies to homeowners, renters and businesses submitting applications for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

If you were affected, be sure to register with FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362), or at fema.gov
