Disaster Recovery Center SATURDAY at CHAVIS - RCAC

22 Apr 2011

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
Center at 3000
 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!
