    FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers

    FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) are accessible meeting places set up after a disaster. There you can learn about FEMA or other assistance programs. You may also ask questions about your case or seek guidance on other disaster-related issues. The services offered at each DRC may vary.

    There are two ways to find a DRC near you:

    1. Use the DRC Locator to find addresses and DRC details. Find info like the hours of operation, services offered, and driving directions.
    2. Text DRC and a Zip Code to 4FEMA (43362). Example: DRC 01234. Using this option doesn’t add you to any messaging service. It’s just like doing a search on the Web. (Standard text rates may apply.)

    To find assistance offered through our partners, go to Assistance by Federal Agency:

    1. Click on any agency name to open a list of their programs.
