The hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Closed Sundays.
The purpose of the Community Recovery Center is to encourage and support a localized, community-based approach to disaster recovery. The center will promote the ability of the community to tailor recovery programs, resources, and services to its population’s unmet needs.
Survivors with questions about FEMA assistance can go online to disasterassistance.gov or call the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362. The line is open every day from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET. Help is available in most languages.
