Why Residents Must Report State Assistance

If you have received Washington State Disaster Assistance, you must report that assistance to FEMA to avoid duplication of benefits. Failure to report assistance may delay your FEMA application or result in FEMA requiring repayment of funds.

SBA Disaster Loans Also Available

The U.S. Small Business Administration also has low-interest federal disaster loans available to Chelan County businesses, private nonprofits, and residents to offset physical and economic losses from the December flooding event.

When and Where the Assistance Center Will Open

The Disaster Assistance center will be established from 12:30 to 6 p.m., May 11-15 and May 18-22 at the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce, 940 US 2, suite B.
