Release Date:

ATLANTA -- State and federal officials announce the opening of a
second Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) in Seminole County to assist the
survivors of Hurricane Michael.

The new center will open:

MONDAY, OCTOBER 29
Seminole County
First Baptist Church
409 Woolfork Ave.
Donalsonville, GA 39845
Hours: Monday-Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Sunday from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m.

 

With this new addition, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
will be operating 12 DRCs throughout southwest Georgia, with
additional locations expected to open soon. Residents who are
uninsured or underinsured are encouraged to register with FEMA before
visiting a DRC. Applicants with homeowner’s or flood insurance
should file a claim immediately with their insurance company, then
apply for disaster assistance.

DRCs give survivors a chance to meet face-to-face with recovery
specialists who can answer questions about temporary housing, home
repairs, replacement of damaged personal property and other
disaster-related needs, such as medical, dental or transportation
costs not covered by insurance or other programs.

The President has declared 20 Georgia counties major disaster areas,
clearing the way for homeowners, renters and business owners to
register for help. The counties are: Baker, Decatur, Dougherty, Early,
Miller, Seminole, Crisp, Grady, Lee, Mitchell, Terrell, Thomas, Worth,
Calhoun, Clay, Laurens, Randolph, Sumter, Tift and Turner counties.

Eligible applicants can register for assistance by calling: (800)
621-3362, or applying online at: disasterassistance.gov
[http://www.disasterassistance.gov]. The TTY number is 1-800-462-7585
for those who are speech or hearing-impaired. Survivors can also
register at any one of the DRC locations.
