FEMA will be at the Nobles County Fair from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Commercial Building as well as walking around to help people get in getting signed up for individual assistance for flood relief.
It's noted that FEMA isn't here to check for citizenship; it's here to help people recover some losses of the costs of their damages. Individual assistance is available for homeowners or renters.
Can't make it to the Nobles County Fair? No problem -- there are four ways to sign up for assistance.

Businesses must apply for a low-interest-rate SBA loan. Applicants must be signed up by Sept. 27 to qualify to receive assistance for their damages. Save your photos and receipts for what you spend to recover from your damages.
After you apply, you will receive an email, phone call or text from FEMA to set an appointment to come look at your damages. Damages must be inspected to qualify.
FEMA will not ask for banking information or Social Security Numbers. If you are asked for personal information, hang up and report the call to law enforcement or to the FEMA 800 number at 1-800-621-3362. DO NOT click links in a text message.
