Open DRCs - CHECK WEBSITE FOR Current Status!!!

About DRCs

A Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) is a readily accessible facility or mobile office where applicants may go for information about FEMA or other disaster assistance programs, or for questions related to your case.

NOTE: You can register for assistance at a DRC or you can register online or by calling 1 (800) 621-FEMA (3362). The TTY number is 1 (800) 462-7585 for those who are speech- or hearing-impaired.

Some of the services that a DRC may provide:

* Guidance regarding disaster recovery
* Clarification of any written correspondence received
* Housing Assistance and Rental Resource information
* Answers to questions, resolution to problems and referrals to agencies that may provide further assistance
* Status of applications being processed by FEMA.
* SBA program information if there is a SBA Representative at the Disaster Recovery Center site.

To find out if you qualify for assistance:

http://www.fema.gov/news/disaster_totals_annual.fema

Choose your state. Choose the button for whatever storm you are interested in. Note that it may be under "Emergency Declarations", the second set of declarations, or scroll down to see all lists. Then choose the button for "designated counties" to see if your county is there. Note the box on the right hand and choose the "tab" for "individual assistance" to see if your county is qualified to receive federal funds for individuals. Note that "Category B" declarations usually don't have any funds available for individuals. Only for towns and cities.

INTERNAL NOTE: November 2012: took this web page out: http://www.fema.gov/assistance/opendrcs.shtm And replaced it with the above.
