HURRICANE MATTHEW DISASTER ASSISTANCE
10/11/16Although Hurricane Matthew has moved away from North Carolina, there is still significant danger from flooding and structural damage. Many bodies of water have not yet fully crested. Those living near rivers, streams, and low-lying areas can visit readync.org to see if they are at risk of additional flooding. Addtionally, drivers should not attempt to proceed along flooded roadways. When in doubt, seek a different route.
Yesterday, President Obama issued a major disaster declaration for the State of North Carolina, triggering the release of Federal funds to help individuals and communities recover from the storm. You can find out if you qualify for individual disaster relief by visiting disasterassistance.gov or calling 1-800-621-FEMA. The Small Business Administration also offers Hurricane Recovery Loans, and the Internal Revenue Service is offering tax relief. Additional information from FEMA is below and in this fact sheet addressing common questions about disaster relief.
PLEASE NOTE THAT MY FAYETTEVILLE OFFICE REMAINS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. PLEASE CALL 919-859-5999 FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
