FEMA Assistance Now Available for Oxford and Lafayette County Residents

FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program is now available to residents of the City of Oxford and Lafayette County who were affected by recent disasters, according to FEMA officials.

The program offers aid to both renters and homeowners. Eligible assistance includes temporary housing, home repairs, replacement of essential personal property, and emergency supplies such as generator fuel and spoiled food replacement.

FEMA urges residents to apply as soon as possible by calling 1-800-621-3362 or visiting DisasterAssistance.gov.
