Per the FEMA site Linn Co has not been declaired a disaster area yet but you can still register and file all your info so that you can get funds as soon as possible.

Even though the disaster declaration hasn't been made you can still call and register(I have already done this and I hope this will help others) As soon as the disaster area is declared they will process your request for assistance. You need SSN, DOB, Gross monthy income for your entire household, and also homeowners insurance policy #'s and other info when you call. I hope this helps someone...

Does anyone know if Linn County has actually been declared a disaster area. As I understand it, the declararion must be made before any application can be made.
