According to a press release, residents affected by the flooding between May 12 and June 3 have until December 22 to apply for individual *federal* assistance.
The deadline applies to survivors living in the Copper River, Kuspuk, Lower Kuskokwim, Lower Yukon, and Yukon Flats Regional Educational Attendance Areas.
Businesses, homeowners, renters, and private nonprofit organizations can receive low-interest loans to address disaster-related impacts as well. Those loan applications are also due by December 22.
Alaska's state Individual Assistance Program deadline is about a week later, on December 31.
Affected individuals are encouraged to register for both state and federal assistance.
To date, FEMA has approved almost three million dollars in assistance for the spring ice jam and snowmelt flooding.
