One Week Remains to Apply for FEMA Assistance in Washington

CAMP MURRAY, Wash. - Washington residents who sustained losses from the December storms and flooding have one week remaining to apply for federal assistance. The deadline is June 10, 2026.

Apply for FEMA assistance:

FEMA encourages those who have insurance to apply because FEMA may be able to provide financial assistance for disaster expenses that are not covered by insurance.

To date, FEMA has approved $8.76 million for 925 applicants in designated counties. FEMA assistance can help pay for temporary housing, displacement, home repair costs, personal property loss and other disaster-caused expenses. Individuals who applied with the state of Washington Individual Assistance program must also apply with FEMA to receive assistance from the federal government.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest disaster loans to Washington businesses, private nonprofit organizations, homeowners and renters. To apply online, visit sba.gov/disaster. For more information, call 800-659-2955. Those who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability may dial 7-1-1 to access telecommunications relay services.
