FEMA available for flood assistance in Coventry, Cranston Thursday

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be going door-to-door Thursday to let residents know about available disaster assistance.  

The federal funds are available to those impacted by the severe storms and flooding that occurred between December 17th and 19th, and also January 9-11.   

If FEMA comes to your door, they must have an ID badge from their agency with them.   

Remember, FEMA agents and local government officials will never ask for money, and will not determine your eligibility for disaster funds at your door.   

Please be vigilant and mindful of scammers.  

Today in Cranston, FEMA and the Small Business Administration will also be available to speak with residents about available disaster funds.   

Agents will be on hand to help those impacted by those storms apply for financial assistance.
