Resources on the website cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Assistance for those affected by the severe weather. Including information about the current state and federal programs available to residents, businesses, and farms.
  • Volunteer and donation information, including the types of donations that are needed and information for those who want to volunteer; and
  • Resources and links for additional assistance or information on subjects like insurance, how to clean up, or how to access mental health resources.
