NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WJBF) – FEMA has opened up new disaster recovery centers in the CSRA.
A FEMA spokesperson told NewsChannel 6 the goal is to open a DRC in every county affected by the hurricane, and a new center at the Nancy Carson Library in Aiken County brings the total up to four located in the CSRA.
The other centers are in Barnwell, Richmond, and Washington Counties – and the plan is to add more.
“If you suffered damage to your primary residence in South Carolina and Georgia and you live in one of those eligible counties in South Carolina and Georgia, you may be eligible for disaster assistance, so come out and get in touch with FEMA,” said Nikki Gaskins-Campbell, a FEMA Media Relations Specialist.
Monday in North Augusta, FEMA staff was walking people through the disaster assistance process.
“This is where people can come out, meet with a FEMA representative face-to-face, apply for disaster assistance, ask all the questions they want, get an update status on their application,” said Gaskins-Campbell. “And in addition, we also have other partners here including the Small Business Administration and they’re a huge partner in the recovery process.”
