FEMA is now accepting applications for federal disaster assistance for Bladen County.

Yesterday, Gov. Pat McCrory received a notice that Bladen County, along with nine other counties in North Carolina, has been declared a federal disaster, and relief is available to homeowners and renters on an individual basis.

The application is available online at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/. On the site, users are able to search by address to determine if their home is eligible to aid.
