The deadline for West Virginians affected by a
destructive summer storm has been extended to Dec. 19.
Individual assistance can be used to pay for home repairs,
rental assistance, disaster-related medical, dental and funeral expenses, and
repair or replacement of uninsured personal property. The June 29 derecho and
subsequent storms left three people dead and more than 680,000 customers
without electricity across the state.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency says the deadline is
being extended because many who were affected by the derecho also suffered
through Hurricane Sandy.
Twenty West Virginia
counties have been designated disaster locations.
