La Crosse – U.S. Rep. Ron Kind is reminding Wisconsinites impacted by late-August and early-September’s severe storms and flooding that the application deadline for individual federal disaster assistance is Monday, December 17, 2018.

“Wisconsinites are strong, and are hard at work rebuilding their homes, farms and businesses after the devastating flooding and storms we saw late this summer,” said Rep. Ron Kind. “I want to remind everyone facing storm damage repairs that the application deadline to receive individual federal disaster assistance is this Monday, December 17th. My office is open and ready to help Wisconsinites get connected to the help they need.”

Wisconsin residents can apply for disaster assistance online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-3362.

Counties in western and central Wisconsin that are approved for individual assistance include Crawford, Juneau, La Crosse, Monroe, Richland, and Vernon Counties. Renters, homeowners and businesses in those counties who were affected by severe storms and flooding from Aug. 17 through Sept. 14, 2018 are eligible to apply.

Rep. Kind’s office has, and will continue to, work side-by-side with residents and local officials that are rebuilding their homes and communities. Any Wisconsinite with questions regarding recovery efforts or services should call his office toll-free at 1-888-442-8040, or visit his website: kind.house.gov.
