(INDIANAPOLIS) - Homeowners and renters whose primary residence is in Dearborn, Fulton, Jasper, Kosciusko, LaPorte, Ohio, Porter, Pulaski, Spencer, Starke, Switzerland, Vanderburgh and White counties may apply for federal disaster assistance to cover uninsured losses for damage caused by the flooding that occurred Feb. 14 through March 4, 2018.
Business owners in these counties may also apply for assistance. The deadline to apply is Thursday, July 5, 2018.
Public Assistance (PA) is also now available in Pulaski County. FEMA PA grant funding for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities is available in 28 Indiana counties, including Benton, Clark, Crawford, Dearborn, Elkhart, Floyd, Fulton, Gibson, Harrison, Jasper, Jefferson, LaPorte, Marshall, Newton, Ohio, Perry, Porter, Pulaski, Spencer, St. Joseph, Starke, Switzerland, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Wabash, Warren, Warrick and White.
The nine counties already eligible under FEMA's Individual Assistance program are Carroll, Clark, Elkhart, Floyd, Harrison, Jefferson, Lake, Marshall and St. Joseph.
Keep in mind when applying for Individual Assistance:
Survivors should also contact their insurance company to file an insurance claim. FEMA is unable to duplicate insurance payments. However, those without insurance or those who may be underinsured may still receive help after their insurance claims have been settled.
