ST. JOSEPH CO. — Severe weather earlier this year caused major flooding around our area.

Now homes and businesses in St. Joseph County are eligible for federal disaster assistance.

FEMA is setting up a Help Center for people to apply for federal aid from January and February's heavy rains.

They have experts on hand to help you find out what aid you're eligible for, and what you can expect.

"If you are not sure if you've got damage or not, then you need to register just to make sure you are in the system in case you do have damage,” said FEMA Representative Tim Robinson.

The Disaster Recovery Center is set up at the Penn Township South Fire Station on Jackson Road in Mishawaka.

They'll be open through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Small Business Administration is also available to help with funding.
