Montgomery County residents who received damages from Tropical Storm Lee earlier this month, in addition to those who sustained damages from Hurricane Irene, may now be eligible to receive Individual Assistance now that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has added the County to its Major Disaster Declaration.

They are urged to call FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or apply online at www.disasterassistance.gov for disaster assistance.

A Disaster Recovery Center staffed by federal, state and county agencies to help residents and businesses that sustained damage during the two storms is now open at the Montgomery County Public Training Campus, 1175 Conshohocken Road, Conshohocken, PA, 19428. It is highly recommended that people call the number or visit the website listed above to register before visiting the Recovery Center.

It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., including Saturdays and Sundays until further notice. The Recover Center includes representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, federal Small Business Administration, Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Department of Environmental Protection, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Montgomery County Health Department, Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and Aging and Adult Services.
The Montgomery County Public Safety Department continues to pursue reimbursements for municipalities for their costs associated with the two storms.
