Disaster Recovery Centers help to bridge the gap between disaster hit people and their possible solutions |
Spanish speakers will be on hand in both mobile DRCs to provide assistance to survivors.
Disaster survivors are encouraged to register for assistance before visiting the DRCs by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462-7585 for the hearing or speech impaired. Tele-registration hours are 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. seven days a week. Those affected by the hurricane can also register online at the following link or visit a DRC to meet face-to-face with recovery specialists.
Even though FEMA and the state encourage DRC visits, doing so is not required to be considered for assistance.
Representatives of the state, federal and voluntary agencies, as well as customer service representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), will be available at the center to answer questions and provide disaster loan information to homeowners, renters and businesses of all sizes. Written materials about various assistance programs are also available to individuals and business owners. No cash, checks, debit cards or vouchers are distributed at DRCs. Centers are for the dissemination of information to assist in recovery.
