Applicants have 60 days from the date of the declaration to apply for assistance. This disaster was declared on August 15th.
Disaster Recovery Centers will be stepped up and we are working to get those locations and times finalized. It is not necessary for constituents to wait until those are available to apply for assistance, though. I would encourage constituents to begin the application process as soon as possible.
