Cowlitz County Added to Disaster List

Late Friday Cowlitz County was added to the disaster declaration list by FEMA. This means that victims of the January flooding can apply for aid and low interest loans.

To apply for FEMA assistance, call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462-7585, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., seven days a week until further notice. Multilingual operators are available to answer your call. Those with Internet access can apply on-line at http://www.disasterassistance.gov/.

A Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) is being opened in Longview within the next couple of days. The location will be posted once the opening date and time has been determined.
