FEMA announces mobile recovery center at Fort Braden Library for limited time

Good news for residents in the unincorporated parts of the county: Another Federal Emergency Management Agency Mobile Recovery center has opened at the Jane G. Sauls Fort Braden Library.

The site joins the already established Disaster Recovery Center at the LeRoy Collins Leon County Library , which both were opened in response to the May 10 tornado outbreak.

The Fort Braden site is open for a limited time, running 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. until this coming Sunday. The downtown library is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday through Sunday.

No appointment is necessary to visit either center.

What do I need to apply for FEMA assistance?

• A current phone number where you can be contacted
• Your address at the time of the disaster and the address where you are now staying
• Your Social Security number
• A general list of damage and losses
• Banking information if you choose direct deposit
