Arkansas residents impacted by the severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding between April 2 and April 22 may now be eligible for federal disaster assistance. FEMA is partnering with state and local officials to aid recovery efforts in 16 counties.
Homeowners and renters in Clark, Clay, Craighead, Crittenden, Desha, Fulton, Hot Spring, Jackson, Miller, Ouachita, Pulaski, Randolph, Saline, Sharp, St. Francis, and White counties can apply for financial help to cover disaster-related needs. Assistance may include funds for temporary housing, home repairs, personal property replacement, and other storm-related expenses.
Those with insurance should file a claim first, as FEMA assistance cannot duplicate insured benefits. However, survivors who find their coverage insufficient may qualify for federal aid.
Residents in Hot Spring, Jackson, Randolph, and Sharp counties who previously applied for FEMA assistance following the March 14–15 storms and sustained further damage from the April events may submit an additional application. To apply, visit DisasterAssistance.gov, download the FEMA App, or call 800-621-3362.
