Attention: Storm Damage Victims

Federal disaster officials are still registering assistance requests for damage caused by the recent heavy rains and floods from Tropical Storm Lee, including the rains and flooding this week.

Berks County residents and businesses are encouraged to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or by e-mail to www.disasterassistance.gov. Registration for Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan assistance is available through these contacts as well.  Answers to specific questions regarding what assistance is available in particular situations can be obtained after registration from Disaster Recovery Center (DRC).
