People in three more Alabama counties are now eligible for federal assistance in the wake of last’s weeks storms and tornadoes after FEMA added Coosa, Elmore and Hale counties to the designated disaster area.

The Jan. 12 storms killed six people and left a trail of destruction in its wake.

Originally, Autauga and Dallas counties were approved for individual assistance from FEMA.

Now, people in five counties are eligible for the federal aid for assistance including temporary housing help, basic home repairs “and certain other uninsured disaster-related needs,” the agency said in a news release.

Storm survivors can apply for disaster assistance at disasterassistance.gov, by using the FEMA mobile app, or by calling 800-621-3362 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CST.
