Adjutant General's Department
The Kansas Division of Emergency Management is currently collecting information on flood damages experienced by residents of Osborne County. The deadline for submitting this information is Tuesday, June 8.
To report damages, residents should call 785-646-2522 or email [email protected]. Residents will be asked to complete an interview and will need to provide their insurance status; estimated value of the home or personal property that was damaged; and photos that documents reported damages.
The information and a request for assistance will be submitted to the Small Business Administration to make an eligibility determination for low-interest disaster loans.
The SBA provides low-interest disaster loans to help businesses and homeowners recover from declared disasters. Homeowners, renters, nonprofit organizations, and businesses of all sizes are eligible to apply for physical disaster assistance. These loans cover disaster losses not fully covered by insurance or other sources. Proceeds from insurance coverage on home or property may be deducted from the eligible loan amount.
Most homeowners and renters insurance does not cover flooding. Only flood insurance reimburses you for flood damage, providing the necessary funds for recovery — and you don't have to pay it back.
