The Federal Emergency Management Agency says self-employed Iowans are now eligible for FEMA assistance and their programs can help replace items like a computer, tools for manual labor or musical instruments. FEMA’s Tiana Suber says it’s one more way they are providing help.
Suber says FEMA is also offering guidance on salvaging family heirlooms that were damaged.
Suber says those needing help have a variety of ways to reach a FEMA representative:
The family heirloom recovery specialists will be in Rock Valley Friday from 9 a-m until 1 p-m at the city park shelter house. Iowans under disaster declarations in Adair, Adams, Buena Vista, Cedar, Cherokee, Clarke, Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Harrison, Humboldt, Jasper, Lyon, Mills, Montgomery, O’Brien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Plymouth, Polk, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Shelby, Sioux, Story, Union, and Woodbury counties are eligible for assistance.
