Pocahontas and Webster counties are now eligible to receive Federal Assistance. Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

In addition, federal funding is available for state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency protective measures in Pocahontas and Webster counties.

On June 25, 2016 President Obama announced that federal disaster assistance has been made available to the State of West Virginia to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area affected by severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides beginning on June 22, 2016, and continuing. The declaration has made federal funding available to affected individuals in Clay, Fayette, Greenbrier, Kanawha, Monroe, Nicholas, Roane, and Summers counties.
