30 Days Left to Apply for FEMA Assistance

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahomans affected by the April 25-May 9 storms and tornadoes have until July 31 to apply for FEMA assistance.

This July 31 deadline is for residents of Carter, Craig, Hughes, Johnston, Kay, Lincoln, Love, McClain, Murray, Nowata, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Osage, Ottawa, Pontotoc, Pottawatomie, Washington and Washita counties.

If you were affected by the storms, you should apply as soon as possible. FEMA may be able to help with transitional sheltering, rent, home repairs and other disaster-related needs - and the faster you apply, the sooner you can get aid.

There are four ways to apply:

• Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov.
• Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362.
• Download the FEMA App.
• Visit a Disaster Recovery Center. For locations and hours, visit fema.gov/drc.
