Funding from St. Louis Tornado FEMA | How to apply

ST. Louis – It took almost a month, but St. Louis residents can now obtain federal aid after the deadly and historic tornado of May 16.

President Donald Trump and the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved on Tuesday a major statement in the event of a disaster for the region on Monday, opening the federal funding of the storm survivors. Funding allows eligible owners and tenants of the city of St. Louis, the County of St. Louis and the County of Scott to receive various types of financial aid, including temporary housing subsidies, home repair funding and low -cost loans to cover the losses of non -insured goods.

The American representative Wesley Bell of Missouri shared the following information on Tuesday on how people can ask for help in the event of a disaster, in particular:

• Online at http://www.disasterassistance.gov.
• By phone at 800-621-3362 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT.
• Via the online FEMA application.
• Anyone using a relay service, such as the video relay service (VRS), the subtitled telephone service or others can give the FEMA number for this service. For a video accessible in three ways to request FEMA assistance, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu7wzrjbyhi.

• Address of the damaged house or apartment.
• Description of damage.
• Insurance coverage information.
• Phone number.
• Mailing address.
