Flood Relief $$$ Still Available for Buxco Residents

by KYW’s Brad Segall

Residents in the Philadelphia region who suffered flood damage last month but still haven’t filed an application for assistance can still get help.

The last disaster recovery center in the region closed this past week, but the small business administration has opened a regional center in Bucks County.

Staff will continue to assist disaster victims who received damage from the severe storms. Bucks County chief operating officer David Sanko:

“Clearly, you know, grants are great but in the case of folks who want to get back on their feet sooner; loans are available.  They are both physical damage loans and economic injury loans.”

The center is located at the county’s emergency services building in Ivyland. Loans are available for business owners and individuals and you are urged to call 1-800-621-FEMA before heading to the center.

The center will stay open until the need is no longer there.
