Federal Assistance Available for Flooding Recovery in DuPage County

Request for federal assistance in flood recovery approved for DuPage County.

President Barack Obama approved Illinois Governor Pat Quinn’s request for federal assistance to help people in 11 counties—including DuPage County—recover from historic flooding in mid-April.

Residents who experienced flooding damage can now apply for federal grants and loans to assist with storm-related losses.

The federal disaster declaration makes assistance available to flood victims, including grants to individuals and households to help with temporary housing, home repairs or replacement and other disaster-related expenses, as well as low-interest SBA loans to residents and businesses.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers this assistance program. To apply for assistance, visit www.disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).
