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.
It is now more than a month since the record flooding and storms of August.
If you or anyone you know is still having problems finding suitable accommodations, it is not too late to register with FEMA for assistance with your housing needs.
Are you a homeowner or renter whose home is uninhabitable or who lost valuables because of Louisiana’s recent severe storms and floods? It takes two steps to get possible federal help for these losses.
Step one: Apply for FEMA help.
You should know that any disaster aid you or your neighbor may receive will be based on each person’s unique circumstances and needs.
