Disaster recovery centers will open Tuesday in Sumter, Greene counties

(WTOK) – FEMA and the state of Alabama are opening two disaster recovery centers in Sumter and Greene counties on Tuesday to provide one-on-one assistance to people affected by severe storms, winds and tornadoes on Jan. 12.

Recovery specialists from FEMA, the state and the US Small Business Administration will be available to provide information about available services, explain assistance programs, and assist survivors or check on the status of their assistance applications. The deadline to apply for assistance for all designated counties is March 16, 2023.

No appointment is needed to visit the Disaster Recovery Center. Survivors can also apply for help online DisasterAssistance.gov, using the FEMA smartphone app or call 800-621-3362.
