At the Disaster Recovery Center, survivors can find different resources. It is like a recovery mall, with all kinds of information. We have federal and state agencies, and sometimes local. Besides FEMA, we have Small Business Administration (SBA) representatives that can help those affected through the process, and help with the loan paperwork. Also, the Department of Labor is there to provide information for those that lost their employment due to the disaster.
Affected individuals can register, or ask questions about their cases, as well as turn in paperwork to FEMA. Also, we have an expert in mitigation who can provide information about how to rebuild, repair, what materials to use, how to elevate, how to clean mold, and more.
