City urges residents and businesses to seek all available aid

 Federal agency extends deadlines for disaster assistance and clarifies who can file flood insurance claims

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has extended its deadlines for individuals and businesses seeking financial disaster assistance related to the September flood. Anyone interested in being considered for this aid must register with FEMA no later than Nov. 30, 2013, for individual assistance or Small Business Administration loans. You can do this online at www.disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-3362.

In addition, FEMA wants property owners to know that National Flood Insurance Program policy holders in any Colorado county are eligible to file a flood claim under this program. Policy holders do not have to live in a disaster-designated county. These claims must be filed within 60 days of the date of loss, so these deadlines are approaching soon.

The City of Boulder urges anyone impacted by the flood to reach out to FEMA and seek all available aid if you have been impacted by the flood.
