RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Gov. Beverly Perdue says five more North Carolina counties are eligible for federal disaster assistance because of damage from Hurricane Irene, bringing the total number of counties eligible to 18.

Perdue said Saturday in a news release that assistance is available for people and businesses in Greene, Jones, Nash, Warren and Wilson counties. The declaration means individuals and business owners can seek low-interest loans or grants to help them recover
from Hurricane Irene.

In addition, nine more counties will receive public assistance to help with work such as clearing debris. Those counties are: Bertie, Camden, Currituck, Greene, New Hanover, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Pitt and Wayne. That brings the total number of counties eligible for that assistance to 29.
