Flood Aid Tops $75 Million in Georgia

ATLANTA – Forty days after devastating flooding, more than $75 million in federal assistance has been approved to help survivors get their lives back in order. Almost $49.5 million in GEMA/FEMA disaster assistance grants and more than $25.8 million in low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) have been approved to aid in recovery of the 17 counties declared for individual assistance.

More than 25,000 people have applied for assistance and officials are working hard to make sure everyone who may be eligible for assistance has registered with FEMA before the Nov. 23 deadline. 

Register for assistance by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 800-462-7585. Help is available in all languages. Registration is available online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov. Those with questions can also visit with FEMA representatives in SBA Disaster Loan Outreach Centers.
