Harlan, IA – FEMA inspectors have been visiting damaged homes in Shelby County to meet with residents who have reported summer flood and storm damage.
Shelby County was added to a presidential disaster declaration Friday, and FEMA has already approved more than $92,000 in grants.
To be eligible for possible assistance, residents must first register with FEMA.
Shelby County residents who had ANY amount of storm or flood damage in June, July, or August should register.  The deadline is Nov. 12.  To register, call 1-800-621-3362 or visit DisasterAssistance.gov.
So far, FEMA has received more than 12,000 registrations from residents of 38 Iowa counties.
