Victims of Hurricane Matthew and related flooding must register by the end of today if they want to be considered for federal disaster-recovery aid.

As of Friday, 28,305 individual assistance applications from North Carolina had been approved, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with $90 million in individual and household program funding had been approved by the federal government, with the majority of that amount — about $62.4 million — earmarked for housing assistance, and about $27.4 million allocated for other-needs assistance. Housing assistance provides money for disaster-related housing needs, while other-needs assistance provides funds for other disaster-related needs such as household furnishings, transportation and medical care.

Homeowners, renters and business owners who suffered losses or damages caused by Matthew should call 1-800- 621-3362 to register for assistance or go online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov and register by downloading FEMA’s mobile app, according to a news release. For those who use 711 or Video Relay Service, the number is also 1-800-621-3362. For people using TTY, the number is 1-800-462-7585. These toll-free numbers operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. (local time) seven days a week until further notice. Operators are ready to assist people in multiple languages.

Today’s deadline also applies to victims seeking assistance from the Small Business Administration.

“Businesses that sustained uninsured physical losses or economic injury due to Hurricane Matthew are encouraged to submit an SBA disaster loan application before it’s too late,” reads an SBA news release.

“The SBA is committed to facilitating economic recovery in this disaster. We want area businesses to have a resource where they can meet individually with SBA representatives and find out how a low-interest disaster loan can help them recover,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.

So far, SBA has approved at least $35 million for storm victims in North Carolina.

The assistance is in the form of disaster loans for physical property damage and economic injury. For businesses, interest rates on loans can be as low as 4 percent. For private nonprofit groups, interest rates on loans can be as low as 2.625 percent. Loans for homeowners and renters may have interest rates as low as 1.563 percent. Payback terms could be up to 30 years.

The deadline to return economic-injury applications is July 10.

Additional information on the disaster loan program may be obtained by calling SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or by sending an email to disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Loan applications can be downloaded from www.sba.gov. Survivors may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
