ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Franklin County Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) located at the East Point Volunteer Fire Department, 24 6th Street in East Point, will end operations at 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26.
“The steadily declining daily visits to this DRC are a sign that the recovery process is well underway and individuals in this area have received the help provided by the center,” said Federal Coordinating Officer Justin DeMello of the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency. “The State Emergency Response Team – SERT – and FEMA continue to monitor DRC activity and remain committed to providing applicants with the services they need.”
Applicants from Franklin County who may still require DRC services can get continuing help in three ways:
- Visiting any one of the five Panhandle centers that remain open (see below).
- Calling the FEMA telephone Helpline at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY number at 1 800 462 7585 for those who are speech- or hearing-impaired. This service is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EDT.
