The deadline for West Virginians affected by a
destructive summer storm has been extended to Dec. 19.
Individual assistance can be used to pay for home repairs,
rental assistance, disaster-related medical, dental and funeral expenses, and
repair or replacement of uninsured personal property. The June 29 derecho and

through Hurricane Sandy.
Twenty West Virginia
counties have been designated disaster locations.
