With the Immediate Assistance Program, people who were directly affected by the storm can receive up to $2,000 -- if you qualify.
The new amount is separate from a relief grant announced last fall amounting to $400.
To qualify, your home must have been "destroyed or has significant damage."
Those in need of assistance are encouraged to call 211.
Note: Case managers could be from other local organizations, but the Red Cross is distributing the financial assistance.
