A deadline has been set for state and local officials, county agencies and certain private nonprofit organizations to seek federal funds for storm damage.
The deadline is Sunday, March 6, to submit a request for public assistance to support the recovery from the storms Dec. 26, 2015, to Jan. 22, 2016.
Representatives from the Arkansas Emergency Management Agency, with support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, held briefings for officials throughout the disaster areas to address application procedures, administrative requirements, funding and program eligibility.
Applicants who were unable to attend the briefings and want to file an RPA can download the RPA form at ADEM/PA/Applicant Packet or call ADEM at 501-683-6700 and ask to speak to the Recovery Branch.
