BATON ROUGE, LA.  – A drive-thru Disaster Recovery Center will open
in Jefferson Davis Parish on Monday, Sept. 7 to help Hurricane Laura
survivors.

Different from the standard in-person facility, the new feature of the
centers is an easy and COVID-safe way for Hurricane Laura survivors to
have documents scanned into their case file.

The drive-thru is staffed with FEMA personnel who are available to
scan documents, assist with registration, and answer questions about
disaster assistance programs.

The center operates under strict COVID-19 protocols to ensure visitors
are safe. Masks or face coverings are required for entry and service.
Survivors remain in their cars. A specialist wearing a face mask will
receive documents through the window and return them.

No appointments are necessary. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
seven days a week.

The drive-thru center is located at:

Lacassine High School

409 Algonia Ave.

Lacassine, LA 70650

 

Another drive-thru center is also operating 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven
days a week. It’s located at:
