Mobile Disaster Recovery Center in Evangeline Parish closing Friday
The Evangeline Parish mobile disaster recovery center at the North Side Civic Center in Ville Platte is closing at 6 p.m. Friday.
With the community continuing to repair and rebuild, its need for this disaster recovery center has diminished, leading to the facility’s closure.
Disaster survivors who have registered with FEMA may visit any disaster recovery center for face-to-face help. Centers are staffed by FEMA, SBA and other disaster recovery experts.
Survivors can still visit any other disaster recovery center and may locate other centers near them by going online to fema.gov/disaster-recovery-centers, calling the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362, or downloading the FEMA mobile app.
For more information or to register with FEMA, go online with any computer, smartphone or tablet to DisasterAssistance.gov, call the FEMA helpline, or download the FEMA mobile app. Help is available in most languages and the FEMA helpline is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, until further notice.
Disaster survivors who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability and use a TTY may call 800-462-7585 to register. Those who use 711 or Video Relay Service or require accommodations while visiting a center may call 800-621-3362.
