BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2022 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — It’s obviously nothing like Florida’s Southwest coast, but Hurricane Ian did impact South Palm Beach County. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is now opening up a local service center to help those who need assistance. FEMA issued this announcement on Tuesday:
A Disaster Recovery Center operated by FEMA and the State of Florida is open in Palm Beach County to help those impacted by Hurricane Ian. The center is located at Palm Beach County’s Hagen Ranch Road Library branch located at 14350 Hagen Ranch Road, Delray Beach, FL 33446. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays.
Disaster Recovery Centers provide disaster survivors with information from Florida state agencies, FEMA and the U. S. Small Business Administration. Survivors can get help applying for federal assistance and disaster loans, update applications and learn about other resources available.
No appointment is necessary to get assistance. It is not necessary to visit a center to apply. Survivors can go online to disasterassistance.gov, use the FEMA mobile app or call 800-621-3362. The line is open every day from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET. Help is available in most languages. If you use a relay service, such as video relay (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA the number for that service.
