The deadline for those affected by the May 16 tornado to apply for FEMA disaster aid is Aug. 11.
The funds can be used for home repairs, rental assistance, medical expenses related to the storm and other tornado-related costs.
Applications can be found at disasterassistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362.
So far, nearly 7,000 individual assistance applications have been approved, totaling more than $30 million. About half of them were for housing and half for other needs.
Money received through FEMA disaster assistance does not need to be repaid.
This aid is for individuals and families. Businesses can apply for a disaster loan through the Small Business Administration.
Other resources include FEMA disaster recovery centers, recovery programs launched by the city and disaster unemployment assistance.
