Severe snow and rain storms that swept through the Garden State between December and March triggered four federal disaster declarations.
Federal funding has been made available to people and businesses in Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Gloucester, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset and Union counties.
Assistance includes grants for temporary housing, home repairs and low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses.
People who sustained losses can register with FEMA by calling 800-621-FEMA or on the Web at: www.disasterassistance.gov.
