Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) have
opened in Texas to provide disaster
recovery information to those who suffered
damages and losses from the hurricanes.
Currently, there are 23 centers open
to the public in disaster-affected areas
around Texas, according to officials
from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and the Texas Governor's
Division of Emergency Management (DEM).
Representatives of state, federal,
and voluntary agencies, as well as customer
service representatives from the U.S.
Small Business Administration (SBA),
will be on hand at the centers to answer
questions and provide recovery information.
No cash, checks, debit cards or vouchers
are distributed at Disaster Recovery
Centers. Written materials about various
disaster assistance programs are available
to homeowners, renters and business
owners.
Those who suffered damage from the
hurricanes are urged to register for
assistance by calling 1-800-621-FEMA
(3362) or logging on to www.fema.gov.
The TTY number is 1-800-462-7585 for
those who are speech or hearing-impaired.
People without telephones or Internet
can access these services for FEMA registration
at any of the DRCs located across the
state. After applying, those who have
questions may meet face-to-face with
recovery specialists.
