The Washington County Long Term Recovery Group recommends residents prepare for cold weather conditions. Residents who are unprepared for cold weather as a result of the 2024 flood disaster may be eligible to request help from the WCLTRG.
The WCLTRG has implemented a winterization program to provide assistance to residents experiencing unsafe home climate conditions during cold weather seasons as the result of the 2024 Helene flood disaster. Residents must demonstrate the disaster creates a winterization roadblock in the resident’s personal recovery plan (PRP). Winterization resources include: weatherization/winterization, home repair, home climate control, and fuel (propane, gasoline, kerosene, or similar). This program does not provide financial assistance.
Eligibility criteria:
- The request for assistance must be for a property impacted by the flood.
- The request for assistance must be part of a personal recovery plan that demonstrates a one-time request.
