Following this week’s damage assessment by FEMA in the 11-county area affected by this month’s tornadoes
CLEVELAND, Ohio - , Governor Mike DeWine has initiated several federal and state disaster aid mechanisms that could bring financial relief to Ohioans affected by the storms, according to a press release from the Governor’s Office.
“After the recent tornadoes in Indian Lake and the surrounding region, I promised that we would do all we can to support those who lost their homes or businesses, or had their homes or businesses severely damaged, to help them on the road to recovery,” said Governor DeWine. “Today I am initiating several steps for potential relief for Indian Lake and the surrounding communities.
• FEMA Disaster Declaration: Governor DeWine is seeking a FEMA Presidential Disaster Declaration under the Stafford Act. If granted by the White House, this will allow FEMA aid for eligible damages that have not been reimbursed by other government programs or private insurance. FEMA declarations are granted at the discretion of the President and often take several months for a decision to be issued after the Governor’s application.
• Small Business Administration relief: As part of the FEMA declaration request, Governor DeWine is beginning the process of activating the federal Small Business Administration’s relief programs following a disaster. The SBA issues low-interest loans to businesses and individuals to cover eligible damages.
