WASHINGTON — FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of Missouri to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by the severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding on May 16, 2025. 

The President’s action makes federal funding available to affected individuals in Scott and St. Louis counties and the independent city of St. Louis. Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster. 

Federal funding is also available to state, tribal and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding in Scott and St. Louis counties and the independent city of St. Louis. 

Willie G. Nunn has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Additional designations may be made at a later date if warranted by the results of damage assessments.

The 90-day appeal and comment periods will begin on or around June 10, 2025. 

Appeals and comments may be submitted through September 8, 2025, for:

If property owners see incorrect information that does not change the flood hazard information — such as a missing or misspelled road name in the Special Flood Hazard Area or an incorrect corporate boundary — they can submit
