Lewis County flood-relief centers list FEMA help and Oct. 3 application deadline

The City of Weston lists a FEMA Disaster Recovery Center at the former Summit Center, 37 Elizabeth Street in Weston, for residents affected by the July 21 flooding. The city page lists hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and says staff can help residents register for assistance, check an existing application and ask questions about the recovery process.

The city says residents may apply through DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-3362. It identifies the local disaster as FEMA-4932. The City of Weston also lists a separate Market Place Mall support site at 284 Market Place Mall, where FEMA representatives are available Wednesday through Friday during the published September schedule.

A September 4 notice shared under Agnes Quinn Queen’s name uses a canonical link to the West Virginia Emergency Management Division (WVEMD) page and says residents of Lewis, Pleasants, Ritchie and Upshur counties may apply for federal disaster assistance by October 3, 2026. A current WV News report also describes October 3 as the approaching application deadline in its coverage of regional flood-recovery assistance. The selected social capture does not provide all eligibility or site details, so residents should use the official application route and confirm current instructions before relying on the deadline or traveling to a center.

The City of Weston cautions that recovery hours, availability and needs can change. Residents should check the city’s current recovery-resource page or the official FEMA application channels before making a special trip. LC Portal is reporting the deadline as stated in the WVEMD-linked notice and is preserving the captured author/profile and canonical-source mismatch in its source archive.

The Lewis County Family Resource Network said in a Sept. 19 notice that the West Virginia National Guard's final day at the Market Place Distribution Center was Sept. 18. The FRN credited Guard personnel with helping load and unload supplies, operate forklifts and organize pallets during several weeks of flood-relief work. That community notice does not announce a new center schedule or change the FEMA application information above; readers should confirm current services before traveling.
