WHEELING — Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration are still in Wheeling to help people recover from the deadly June 14 Ohio County flash floods, but they won’t be here forever.

So they’re asking those affected by the floods to apply for aid as soon as possible. At the same time they’re announcing even more opportunities to receive funding to help in recovery.

FEMA announced Tuesday that it is soliciting applications from victims for $770 in Serious Needs Assistance. That assistance had not been approved for Ohio and Marion counties until recently, and Serious Needs Assistance is a new offering from FEMA, spokesperson Kim Fuller said.

“It’s for anything people might have needed after the disaster,” Fuller said. “If they had to buy water, cleaning supplies, food, it literally could be anything.”

But applications for Serious Needs Assistance will only be accepted until Friday, Fuller said. Applications can be filled out online through the FEMA website, at the Disaster Recovery Center at the Triadelphia Community Center or at one of two pop-up locations available this week. Fuller said pop-ups will be located in front of Riesbeck’s at Elm Grove Crossing Mall and at the former U.S. Army Reserve Center in Wheeling’s Clator neighborhood. Those sites will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

Fuller said that people who already have applied for aid can return to one of those sites and amend their applications to include Serious Needs Assistance.

Both FEMA and the SBA offer opportunities for aid. The SBA not only provides low-interest loans to small businesses and nonprofits, but also provides disaster loans to homeowners and renters.

There also are economic injury disaster loans for those inside the counties where the disasters are declared, as well as businesses in surrounding counties that could have been affected by floods.

“If they have some documentation, some indication that, once the disaster occurred, maybe the streets were blocked or closed, maybe the utilities weren’t working and so people weren’t opening businesses,” SBA Public Affairs Specialist Monica Myles said. “Or it could have been another county like Belmont that tends to have a lot of customers from Ohio County, and they’re not coming in because they’re dealing with the damage that they sustained.

“SBA’s overall mission is we want to keep business in business,” she added.

The deadline to apply for FEMA and SBA assistance is Sept. 22, but economic injury disaster loans can be applied for until April 22.
