Governor Patrick Morrisey Announces Clean and Sanitize Assistance for Marion and Ohio Counties

CHARLESTON, W.V. - On August 4, 2025, Governor Patrick Morrisey announced the activation of Clean and Sanitize Assistance (CSA) under the federal disaster declaration (DR-4884-WV) made by President Donald Trump. Eligible individuals in Marion and Ohio counties will receive a one-time payment of $300 for cleaning supplies and sanitation necessities. 

“West Virginia will leave no stone unturned when providing relief to those affected by recent floods,” said Governor Morrisey. “My administration will continue to look for ways to help Marion and Ohio counties recover.” 

CSA is provided under the Other Needs Assistance provision of the Individual and Households Program. Funding is split between federal and state governments, with the state covering 25%. Eligibility is considered through the regular FEMA application process – no additional application is required. 

Applicants must meet the following conditions in order to receive CSA:

• The pre-disaster primary residence is located in an area designated for Individual Assistance.
• Based on a FEMA inspection, the applicant has disaster damage recorded or, for renters, noted clean-up actions are needed or have been taken.
• The damage is not covered by the applicant’s insurance.
• FEMA determines the applicant’s disaster-damaged primary residence is safe to occupy.
