Centers Provide Residents and Business Owners with Information on Disaster Assistance Programs

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano reminds residents that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has opened seven Disaster Recovery Centers for homeowners, renters, and business owners who sustained as a result of Hurricane Sandy. Specialists from the State of New York, FEMA, and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are on hand at locations throughout Nassau County to answer questions and provide information on the types of assistance available to survivors.

“The recovery center is a one-stop informational shop for eligible survivors where they can meet with both state and federal representatives in order to have their important questions answered,” said County Executive Mangano. “I encourage residents who have suffered loss due to Hurricane Sandy – regardless of extent – to register for assistance by stopping by the mobile Disaster Recovery Center, calling FEMA at 1-800-621-3362 or visiting www.DisasterAssistance.gov .”

FEMA’s Disaster Recovery Center is a readily accessible mobile office where applicants may go to receive guidance regarding disaster recovery, clarification of any written correspondence received, Housing Assistance and Rental Resource information, resolutions to problems and referrals to agencies that may provide further assistance, status of applications being processed by FEMA, as well as U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) program information.
