Chester County has had over 100 households that have applied for FEMA assistance so far and some have already received money. This does have a deadline coming up so If you think you have some eligible expenses from the Ice Storm please register and apply. This is a simple process and if you have damage insurance did not cover it or any extra expense or loss due to the ice storm event this is for you.
We are set up at the old bank parking lot behind City Hall and here to assist you in the process. We are here for you, but you have to register or you will miss out.
