City of Windom and Cottonwood County officials continue to advocate for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Individual Assistance to become available to local citizens, but EDA Director Tiffany Lamb informs that the entities have not yet received a response from FEMA.
Lamb did note, however, that she anticipates that communication about approval or denial could come within days.
Lamb wrote, “If we do receive an approval for this assistance, we anticipate FEMA will mobilize very quickly to establish a Disaster Recovery Center in Windom to assist the community. While this assistance is not yet guaranteed to be available, we recommend community members prepare in case we do receive approval.”
More information on filing damage documentation from the flood, or submitting insurance claims is on the city’s website at https://windom-mn.com/july-26-2024-update-actualizacion-del-26-de-julio-de-2024/.
