There are now 43 DRCs open throughout the state. All DRCs are open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, until further notice.
Anyone impacted by the recent hurricanes is urged to register for assistance first by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). The TTY number is 1-800-462-7585 for those who are speech- or hearing-impaired. Both numbers operate from 6 a.m. to 12 midnight, seven days a week. After applying, those who have questions may visit a center to meet face-to-face with recovery specialists.
Representatives of state, federal, and voluntary agencies, as well as loan officers from the U.S. Small Business Administration, will be on hand to answer questions and provide recovery information.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA’s continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.
