The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced on Saturday that disaster assistance has been approved to aid in recovery efforts from December’s flooding and landslides in Washington.
President Trump approved funding for those affected across 10 counties and 16 tribal nations.
FEMA says families or individuals who sustained losses during December’s flooding should first file claims with their insurance company, then apply for assistance by visiting www.DisasterAssistance.gov, calling 1-800-621-3362, or by using the FEMA App.
