Watch: FEMA opens disaster recovery center in QCA

Scott County residents can get local help applying for disaster relief from storms earlier this year.

FEMA opened a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) today, Thursday, September 5 to offer one-on-one help for people affected by spring flooding, severe storms and tornadoes. Recovery specialists from FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration will have information on available services, explain assistance programs and help residents complete or check on the status of their applications.

The DRC will be open starting at 1 p.m. today at the former Davenport Fire Station at 3506 N. Harrison Street. The center will be open Monday – Saturday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and closed on Sundays. Apply online or by phone before coming to the center by:

Centers may temporarily close due to weather. Centers are accessible to people with disabilities or with access and functional needs with assistive and adaptive technology like amplified phones, caption phones, video phones, wheelchair ramps and other resources. Anyone using a relay service, such as a video relay service (VRS) or captioned telephone service can call FEMA at 800-621-FEMA (3362).
