=> Arkansas Disaster Aid to Individuals Tops $1.7 Million
Little Rock, AR, January 15, 2001 -- Disaster assistance for individuals,
families and businesses in
the declared counties in Arkansas now exceeds $1.7 million, state and
federal recovery officials said
today. More than 19,873 residents applied for assistance as of Jan. 15.
Federal Coordinating Officer Joe D. Bray of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)
said housing grants have reached $1,447,542 in the declared counties to fund
essential emergency
repairs that make homes livable or to cover the cost of alternate housing
for homeowners or renters
whose dwellings are unlivable due to the ice storms.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved $63,400 in
low-interest
disaster-recovery loans for businesses and individuals. SBA loans are the
primary means of restoring
or replacing uninsured or underinsured disaster-damaged real estate,
personal property and business
facilities.
State Coordinating Officer David Maxwell said the state-administered
Individual and Family Grant
Program assisted 239 households in the declared counties with a total of
$227,313. This help,
funded 75 percent by FEMA and 25 percent by the state, helps meet serious
disaster-related needs
not covered by insurance or other assistance programs.
The Presidential disaster declaration makes residents eligible to apply for
a variety of state and
federal disaster-recovery assistance programs. Anyone with disaster-related
losses should call
FEMA's toll-free registration number 800-462-9029 or 800-462-7585 for
hearing- or
speech-impaired persons.
If you have already applied for assistance and need information about
disaster-related programs or
the status of a filed application, call the Helpline at 800-525-0321
(800-462-7585 for hearing- or
speech-impaired persons).
