If you had damage due to the August derecho and you have not yet registered with FEMA to see if you qualify for assistance, time is running out.

The deadline to register is this Monday at 11:59 pm. That is also the deadline to apply for a U.S. Small Business Administration low-interest disaster loan.

If you don’t register, you’ll be out of luck if you come across residual damage after the deadline.

So, farm more than $28 million dollars in federal assistance has been approved for counties including Marshall, Tama, Story, Jasper and Poweshiek.

To register go to www.disasterassistance.gov.
