New Jersey Adds A New Disaster Recovery Center In Monmouth County

TRENTON, N.J. — Anyone affected by Hurricane Sandy can now visit a newly opened Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) in Monmouth County if they have questions about recovery programs. This brings the number of centers in Monmouth to four and the number statewide to 31. All but one are open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. except the center in Bay Head, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. while the curfew there remains in effect.

All New Jersey Disaster Recovery Centers will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22 and will reopen on Friday with new hours, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. except for Bay Head.

It is helpful to register with FEMA before visiting a DRC. Individuals and business owners who sustained losses can apply by registering online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, or by web-enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov. By phone or 711/VRS, call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY

1-800-7585.

At DRCs visitors can speak one-on-one to recovery representatives. FEMA program specialists provide registration and other information and answer questions.  FEMA mitigation specialists provide guidance on cost-effective rebuilding and repair techniques to reduce property damage in future disasters.

In addition to FEMA program specialists, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) customer service representatives are available to answer questions about the SBA low-interest disaster loan program, and to assist with disaster loan applications.

The new DRC is located at:

Monmouth

Long Branch Fire Station #4

199-205 Union Ave

Long Branch, NJ 07740

 

DRC locations change frequently. Updates can be found online at http://asd.fema.gov/inter/locator/home.htm.  An alternative site is www.fema.gov;

search DRC Locator.

An applicant may go to any DRC, even if it is located in another county or state but it is not necessary

to visit a center to receive disaster assistance. Once an application has been made, a FEMA registration number is assigned that can be accessed nationally.
