SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A Disaster Recovery Center has opened in the
town of Willits where residents who were affected by the
February/March severe storms and flooding can get information on
disaster assistance.

Those affected by the disaster can meet with recovery specialists
face-to-face if they need help applying for FEMA assistance. They can
also get answers to questions or follow up on their applications.
Recovery specialists can also provide information on any rental
assistance available or fax any requested documents to a FEMA
processing center. They can also scan or copy new information or
documents needed for case files.

Specialists at the centers can also direct you to operators who can
communicate in Spanish and many other languages by request. The
centers also offer printed material in multiple languages.

Disaster Recovery Centers are barrier-free and provide equal access to
all visitors. If you use American Sign Language or assistive
technology, and if you need accommodations to communicate, please
notify FEMA staff at the center immediately.
