Harrisburg, PA — At the request of county officials, the Shapiro Administration will support a multi-agency resource center to assist individuals and families that sustained losses from damages caused by heavy rain from multiple storms throughout September 2026.
The resource center is open to residents and business owners in Washington County who were affected by the recent flash flooding.
Several storms in September produced heavy rain across Washington County, damaging homes, businesses and infrastructure. Having necessary resources and services available in one location for the community makes it a little easier for everyone to navigate the recovery process.
