Residents and businesses in another four New Jersey counties ravaged by the remnants of Hurricane Ida now will be eligible for federal disaster relief, the White House announced Friday.

If your home or small business was damaged then you can get help, including some grants from the federal government. Start with the following link:

Mercer and Union counties were added. Essex also.
