Officials with FEMA, Thursday, announced hours of operation for four state/federal Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs), open to help flood survivors in western Iowa, will be changing beginning this weekend.

As of April 21st, the DRCs no longer will be open on Sundays. Operating hours for the centers in Mills, Harrison and Woodbury counties are from Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will remain the same until further notice. Fremont County’s DRC is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The adjustment of hours for these temporary centers is typical and generally based on the volume of visitors. Survivors can visit any location that is convenient, even one outside of your county of residence or where you are currently staying. These centers are located at:

Fremont County: 2014 290th Ave., Sidney, IA, 51652
Mills: 111 Lacey St., Glenwood, IA, 51534
Harrison: 800 West Huron St., Missouri Valley, IA, 51555
Woodbury: 4647 Stone Ave., Sioux City, IA, 51106

DRCs are one-stop information centers that provide a place for homeowners, renters and business owners who sustained damage from the severe storms and flooding beginning March 12 to get critical disaster recovery information in a face-to-face setting. You can apply at any DRC, even in another state, if necessary. To find a DRC in another state, visit http://www.FEMA.gov/DRC.

The FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362, also is another tool for survivors who have questions about their application or need referrals to other organizations that can help them. Multilingual operators are available. TTY users may dial 800-462- 7585. Lines are open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time.
