Disaster Recovery Center Opens In Crisfield

Posted: Updated:

SOMERSET CO., Md. - Just one week ago Somerset County residents devastated by Superstorm Sandy wondered if federal aid would ever come. But now it's finally here.

A disaster recovery center has been set up at the Lower Somerset County Ambulance & Rescue Squad Building in Crisfield. The center will be open from 8AM to 7PM Monday through Saturday and from 1 to 5PM on Sunday.

Specialists from FEMA and Maryland Emergency Management Agency will be on hand to answer your questions about disaster assistance and resources.

Officials are encouraging people to register with FEMA first, which can be done online, by the phone or in person. Then go to the center to find out what help is available for you. Just head to www.disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY - 1-800-462-7585.
