CHARLESTON, W.Va. – West Virginians have one week left to apply for FEMA assistance for damages from the February storms. Assistance is available to residents of Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Raleigh, Wayne and Wyoming counties. The deadline to apply is Monday, April 28, 2025.
Both homeowners and renters can apply for assistance to help with disaster-related expenses. FEMA assistance can help with costs from replacing or repairing necessary and disaster-damaged personal property. This can include appliances, computers, work equipment if you are self-employed, vehicles, and more.
If you have already applied for assistance and received a FEMA determination letter, please read that letter carefully. If you disagree with the decision or assistance amount, don’t worry—you have the right to appeal. FEMA’s first decision may not be the final decision. But you should act quickly. You need to respond to a FEMA decision letter within 60 days. For help responding to a FEMA letter, bring your letter to a Disaster Recovery Center, call the FEMA helpline, or visit DisasterAssistance.gov.
