Corpus Christi, TX -- Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC) are scheduled to open in Aransas Pass and in Corpus Christi to serve those affected by the tornadoes and severe weather that began on October 24.
On Saturday, November 16, a DRC will open at 3908B Leopard St. in Corpus Christi and a mobile DRC will open in Aransas Pass at Precinct 1A Voting Center, located at the corner of Stapp Rd. and North Commercial (Business Rt. 35).
Both centers will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mon.- Sat. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
