Folks,
I just came back from Chavis Community Center: FEMA's Disaster Relief
Center is NOW OPEN! There was no waiting when I was there, either.
Before they can help you, you NEED TO PREREGISTER either online at
http://www.disasterassistance.gov or by phone at 800-621-3362. If you
don't preregister first, the very first thing you do when you get to
Chavis is be sent to a bank of telephones where you will call the above
FEMA number and register.
Please pass on to all of our neighbors affected by the storm.
Regards,
Mark Turner

Once again, the information on the N.C. Emergency Management's Disaster
Recovery Center is changing. It will still be held at Chavis Community
Center but it will NOT OPEN TODAY. It will instead open at 0800 Saturday
morning.
I was just told that while people COULD come today, there might be a lot
of waiting as NCEM/FEMA are not completely set up yet.
Before going to a center, people with storm losses should register with
FEMA online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800-621-FEMA
(3362). CITIZENS WILL SAVE A LOT OF TIME if they arrive at the center
with a "preregistration number" in hand!
Chavis Community Center is located at 505 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd in
Southeast Raleigh.

NC Emergency Management has opened a Disaster Recovery

Falstaff Drive (behind WakeMed) this morning for storm victims.
This news has NOT made it into any news media and I'm concerned that
folks in Raleigh think they have to drive to Fayetteville to get help.
PLEASE let everyone know this information so that people can get
assistance. Thanks!

If you or someone you know has uninsured or under-insured losses, NC
Emergency Management will be opening a DISASTER RECOVERY CENTER in
Raleigh at 0800 on Friday, 4-22-11.
The center will be located in the Alcohol Treatment Center, 3000
Falstaff Drive (Behind Wake Med.) There will be representatives of
various Federal, State and Non-Governmental Agencies on call to provide

BEFORE YOU GO: Register with FEMA by calling 1-800-621-3362, or go to
