Texas: Additional Disaster Recovery Center Opened
Friday, August 15th, 2008
A second Disaster Recovery Center has opened in Sebastian, Texas to help residents of Willacy County with the recovery and rebuilding of the area after Hurricane Dolly. The additional center will be located in the IRRA Community Building. There are a total of six such centers open to homeowners and businesses in Texas as part of the federal assistance provided after the storm hit the southern coast in July.
The Disaster Recovery Centers provide individuals that have suffered from a major disaster, like Hurricane Dolly, with access to FEMA staff, federal and state agencies, volunteer organizations and disaster recovery specialists who are able to help residents through the process of assessing disaster damage, applying for disaster assistance and recovering from the devastation done to their home and belongings.
