For mountain residents and businesses impacted by the winter storms and seeking help, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) have opened a Disaster Resource Center (DRC) in Twin Peaks.
Mountain residents, property owners, and businesses affected by the late winter blizzard are now eligible for assistance from the federal government thanks to the efforts of Board of Supervisors Chair Dawn Rowe and various County agencies who advocated and worked closely with state and federal decision makers to secure aid for local communities.
Residents and businesses can register and apply for aid and check on the status of their applications at www.disasterassistance.gov, by downloading the FEMA smartphone app, or by calling 800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585).
Those who need further assistance or who have been turned down for aid should visit the Disaster Resource Center, where representatives from various agencies can help residents and businesses find forms of assistance for which they are eligible.
The DRC is located at the Twin Peaks Recreation Complex, 675 Grandview Road, and is open Sunday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is closed on Saturdays.
