Were you affected by

the September, 22nd

2016 storms in
Waseca County?
You could still receive assistance. But youve got to act before Jan. 31.
Anyone whose home or property was damaged in the September flood may still be
eligible for help, both from FEMA and Lutheran Social Services, even if youve
cleaned up, made repairs, or been denied.
To ensure eligibility, apply or file an appeal at the disaster recovery center at the
Waseca Public Safety Center. Hours are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

Denied by FEMA? Re-apply in person and

appeal.
FEMA awards do not need to be repaid
Applications are private, and information
is not shared with any other government
agency. FEMA awards wont impact
government assistance you now receive
and is not taxed as income by the IRS.
If youre unable to leave your home, FEMA
representatives can come to you.

 Even if you dont now suspect damage,

foundation issues could be revealed
following the spring thaw.
