The Randoph County Mobile DRC will be staffed by personnel from FEMA, ADEM and the Small Business Administration (SBA) who can answer questions and provide recovery information and written materials about various assistance programs available to individuals and business owners. Representatives from other disaster assistance agencies will also have personnel at the DRC.
Disaster recovery officials urge individuals and business owners to register for assistance before they come to the DRC in order to avoid delays.

Both numbers operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. An application can also be filed online, 24 hours a day, at Online Individual Assistance Center.
FEMA manages federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates mitigation activities, works with state and local emergency managers, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003.
