Additional Disaster Recovery Center Opens

NEW YORK – The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced today that two new Disaster Recovery Centers are opening to assist survivors of Hurricane Sandy. Note that conditions at individual sites may vary and affect opening times. The new locations are:

Borough Hall
10 Richmond Terrace
Staten Island, NY 10301
Hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Mon-Sun

Huntington Town Hall
100 Main Street
Huntington, NY 11743
Hours: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. today, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday

More than 1,000 FEMA community relations personnel are blanketing damaged neighborhoods, going door-to-door delivering information vital to recovery and encouraging residents with damaged property to register for assistance. They can help refer survivors to the proper resources for any unmet disaster needs, but they do not assess or document damage. FEMA inspectors will contact survivors directly after they have registered.

Individuals do not have to go to a DRC to register with FEMA. Here are some alternatives:

They may apply for FEMA assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling the toll-free registration number at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).  If you have a speech disability or hearing loss and use a TTY, call 1-800-462-7585 directly; if you use 711 or Video Relay Service (VRS), call 1-800-621-3362.  They may also register online at: www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by mobile phone at m.fema.gov.  

To find the DRC nearest you, the following options are available: Text DRC and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA), and a text message will be sent back with the address. Also, check out the disaster recovery center locator at www.FEMA.gov/disaster-recovery-centers.
