Learn more about what disaster relief is available for the Putnam Co tornadoes.

This is the Hyder-Burks Pavilion – the disaster relief center for Putnam County. Yard signs pointing residents to state agencies, to FEMA. While this weekend our community’s focus has turned to the Coronavirus, we want to make sure that every victim of the tornado understands what services and assistance are available from the federal government. How do you get the help you need? What is the truth about that help? So we’ve come to Hyder-Burks today to get information from both FEMA, and the SBA. Call this a primer, of sorts, if your focus has been on other areas since the tornadoes struck.
