Two Northeast Arkansas counties have about 2 weeks to receive federal relief from severe storms that hit the state in December and January.

The Associated Press reports the Federal Emergency Management Agency says residents in Jackson and Lee Counties have until April 5th to register for federal disaster aid.

11 counties who were affected by severe storms are eligible for assistance.  Funds can be used for rental assistance, repairs, and other damages caused by disasters not covered by insurance.

Assistance can be applied for here.
