SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO – Two Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) are
now open in Caguas and Mayagüez. The joint DRCs, a partnership
between the Municipality, the Government of Puerto Rico and FEMA, will
help Hurricane Fiona survivors apply for FEMA assistance, upload
documents needed for their application and answer questions in person.

Representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are
on hand at the DRC to provide program information and explain how to
apply for SBA’s low-interest disaster loans for homeowners,
businesses, private nonprofits, and renters, and provide printed
information about repairs and rebuilding to make homes more disaster
resistant.

Services are provided in English and Spanish. If you need a reasonable
accommodation or a sign language interpreter to communicate with FEMA,
please call 1-833-285-7448, press 2 for Spanish.
