Disaster Recover Center opens for Hardin and McNairy counties

May 13– The Federal Emergency Management Agency has opened a Disaster Recovery Center in McNairy County to help all area residents affected by the severe storms and flooding that started on April 30.

Located at the Selmer Community Center at 230 North 5th St., the DRC is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week until further notice.

Disaster officials ask that before visiting the centers, people first register online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) or (TTY) 800-462-7585 for those with speech and hearing disabilities.

 

Disaster recovery specialists can answer questions about their application and review information FEMA needs to process the application. Recovery specialists can supply contacts for other programs that may be able to help.

U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) representatives will be at the Disaster Recovery Centers to answer any questions about the SBA low-interest disaster loan program for homeowners, renters, businesses and private non-profit organizations of all sizes.

These loans are to repair or replace real estate and personal property damaged by the storms and flooding.

FEMA’s temporary housing assistance and grants for public transportation expenses, medical and dental expenses, and funeral and burial expenses do not require individuals to apply for an SBA loan.

However, applicants who receive SBA loan applications must submit them to SBA loan officers to be eligible for assistance that covers personal property, vehicle repair or replacement, and moving and storage expenses.
