I know that the task of rebuilding a community after a natural disaster can be daunting and overwhelming.  You are not alone and I wanted to make sure you had access to information and basic tips that you may find helpful as you deal with the aftermath of the flood and/or tornado that ripped through your community.  Federal Assistance is available and I wanted you to be able to take advantage of the financial help that exists.  If you're a victim of the flood, links are provided below with information about relief assistance.  If you're a victim of the tornado, you should contact your insurance company before applying for federal assistance.  On my website I have included some basic tips when handling your insurance claim.  You'll need to follow these basic tips when applying for federal assistance. 

Stay strong and be safe.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
