(WBRC) - Governor Ivey announced Monday that certain counties in Alabama have been approved for Individual Assistance (IA) from FEMA. Counties qualifying for IA include: Bibb, Calhoun, Clay, Hale, Jefferson, Perry, Randolph and Shelby. “Alabama knows all too well the devastating effects severe weather can have, but we always rebuild back stronger. I saw firsthand some of the damage from the March 25 tornadoes and after the local assessment came in, I sent a request to the president and FEMA so that we could get the deserved additional aid for our people. We have been working diligently to get this done, and I am pleased that Alabama will see additional help. I encourage individuals in these eligible counties to take advantage of this assistance offered by the federal government,” said Ivey.
