(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- People with property damage from the flash floods earlier this summer can now get personalized federal assistance in their communities.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has opened four Disaster Recovery Centers for flood victims.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle joined FEMA at one of the centers, at Morton College in Cicero.
Officials say residents can get help applying for disaster assistance, uploading documents and in making their property more disaster-resistant.
