Important info 👇about available funding for homeowners, renters, and businessowners who sustained losses from the March 14 tornado.Ohio homeowners and renters in Delaware County with disaster-related losses from the tornadoes on March 14th may now apply for disaster assistance from FEMA. Federal assistance may include temporary lodging, basic home repairs and other disaster-related expenses. A few notes:

- If you have insurance coverage, first file a claim
- If you are uninsured or underinsured, you can apply for assistance by calling FEMA at 800-621-3362 or by going to their website at disasterassistance.gov/
- If you use video relay service, captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service
- When calling the FEMA Helpline, multilingual operators are available (press 2 for Spanish and 3 for other languages)

Have the following information ready when you register with FEMA:
- A current phone number where you can be contacted
- Your address at the time of the disaster and the address where you are now staying
- Your social security number (or the social security number of a minor child in your household, if you’re applying on their behalf)
- A general list of damage and losses
- Banking information if you choose direct deposit
- If insured, the policy number or the agent and/or the company name

Those who already made repairs or started their recovery should still apply. FEMA inspectors are trained to recognize damage caused by a disaster even after recovery has started, and they will discuss that damage with you when they come to your home. Be prepared to show repair receipts, photos and any other disaster-related documentation as well. ... See MoreSee Less

Today, we're putting the spotlight on Cornerstone of Hope for #mentalhealthawarenessmonth. This agency offers grieving individuals and families a safe space to cope with their loss. According to our Community Health Assessment, 50% of Delaware County adults experienced a death of a family member or close friend within the past 12 months. That's why Cornerstone is assisting with the Community Health Improvement Plan to help Delaware County deal with grief in a healthy way!

Starting this Monday, Cornerstone will be offering a free support group for survivors of suicide loss at the Andrew's House from 6-7pm. For more info, visit columbus.cornerstoneofhope.org or click here to register: secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/jXk9jieEOhA1nfNG2HtcDQ ... See MoreSee Less

We're excited to help the Delaware-Morrow Mental Health & Recovery Services Board celebrate #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth! DMMHRSB is an awesome partner, especially in helping us implement so many pieces of the Community Health Improvement Plan! Check out what they're all about below!

And watch for more mental health agency spotlights throughout the month to learn just how many valuable resources we have in Delaware County!To help celebrate #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we are taking a little time every Wednesday this month to highlight the work done by a local agency within the behavioral health care continuum. We truly are a team and need each other to thrive!

Today we thought we'd explain ourselves. The Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board is the ADAMH Board for Delaware and Morrow Counties. State law requires that every county be covered by such a board. In the simplest terms, we use a mixture of levy, state, and grant funds to reimburse providers who give life-saving care to our residents. Whether that's crisis services for children, shelter for domestic violence survivors, or substance use disorder treatment, our providers are the frontline in the fight for mental heath and addiction treatment.

Please help us use Mental Health Awareness Month to shine a spotlight on the work done to keep our residents safe and healthy.
