DISASTER RECOVERY ASSISTANCE |
To get help, the first thing disaster survivors should do is register with FEMA at www.disasterassistance.gov. They can also register for FEMA by calling (800) 521-3362 or by visiting a disaster recovery center (DRC). There will be a DRC opening on 9/04/2017 at 305 Radio Lane. It will be open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm. Homeowners, renters, and businesses can apply for SBA disaster assistance at the DRC. They may also get information and apply for assistance at www.sba.gov/Harvey. If they prefer to have an application mailed to them, they may call (800) 659-2955. However, the most convenient way to get assistance and have questions answered is by visiting the DRC. If FEMA refers a person to SBA to complete a loan application, it is important that the person do so, even if they don’t want a loan or think they won’t qualify for the loan. It is part of the assistance process. They must complete the application in order to receive all the assistance to which they are entitled.
