FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers Opening in Ringgold, Union and Clarke Counties
A FEMA Disaster Recovery Center will be open from 1-7 PM on May 25 in Ringgold County to help survivors who experienced loss or damage to their homes or personal property from the April 26-27 tornadoes. We can help with questions about disaster assistance programs, who is eligible for assistance, what kind of things FEMA can help with or what the status is with an application already filed. We can help you with an application or even upload documents for you if they are needed to complete your application.
The Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) will be open on a temporary basis and will rotate to other designated counties. Recovery specialists from FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration will provide information on available services, explain assistance programs and help survivors complete or check the status of their applications.
