Peterson announces additional disaster assistance 

(WASHINGTON, DC) – Congressman Collin Peterson (MN-7) announced that the following Minnesota counties have been approved for additional federal disaster assistance: 

Public Assistance (PA) for Becker, Beltrami, Clay, Pennington and  Polk counties; 

Public Assistance (PA) and Individual Assistance (IA) for Roseau, Koochiching, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman and Red Lake counties; 

Individual Assistance (IA) for Kittson County. 

“Even though this is good news, I want to stress the importance of continuing to report all damage assessment information.  There’s more damage out there, and there are things that can be done to help, but FEMA won’t know about it unless we all report it.” 

Additional information can be obtained by calling the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hotline at 800-621-3362. 

Information is also available on Congressman Peterson’s official office website at www.house.gov/collinpeterson.
