FEMA Disaster Recovery Center In Triadelphia Closing Sept. 19

Those who want to talk to a FEMA representative in person about aid for the June floods in Ohio County will have until Sept. 19 to do it.
According to a FEMA news release, the Ohio County Disaster Recovery Center at the Triadelphia Community Center at 4453 National Road will close permanently at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19. The center in Marion County, an area also affected by floods that weekend, will close permanently Friday, Sept. 12.
Those affected by the June flash floods will still be able to register with FEMA until Monday, Sept. 22, but will have to do so over the phone at 1-800-621-3362 or online at DisasterAssistance.gov.
According to FEMA, those affected should also file an insurance claim. Those with homeowners, renters, or flood insurance should file a claim before applying for FEMA assistance. FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance. If a policy does not cover all disaster expenses, you may be eligible for federal assistance.
While the claim is processing, FEMA assistance may be able to help with uninsured losses. This can include help if you are displaced, need temporary lodging, require basic home repair costs, or lose personal property. The fastest way to apply is online at DisasterAssistance.gov.
For more information or additional help, download the FEMA app to complete your application and find other resources, or call the FEMA Helpline at 1-800-621-3362 for assistance in multiple languages. Those who use a relay service, captioned telephone or other service should give FEMA their number for that service.
