The Long-term Disaster Recovery Centers (LT-DRC) in Clay and Sioux County will be closed on Friday, July 4, in observance of the Fourth of July. The LT-DRCs will reopen on Monday, July 7, at 9 AM.
In observance of the Fourth of July on Friday, July 4, the Disaster Case Advocate call center will be closed for survivors seeking virtual assistance. The call center will reopen on Saturday, July 5. You may leave a message, and an advocate will return your call the next day.
At the LT-DRC and over the phone, Disaster Case Advocates are on hand to help survivors navigate the recovery process and answer questions about available state, local, and federal assistance and how to apply. Survivors can also check their FEMA or Small Business Administration (SBA) status, receive assistance with their federal assistance applications, including how to file an appeal on a denied federal application, develop a home repair or rebuild plan, and create a unique recovery plan with steps to reach their recovery goals.
