Disaster Recovery Centers transitioning to Community Recovery Centers
LAKE MARY, Fla. – The State/FEMA will be transitioning the leadership of the four remaining Disaster Recovery Centers in Florida to county or local jurisdiction. Going forward, they will be called Community Recovery Centers.
They are located at:
• Lake Kennedy Center, 400 Santa Barbara Blvd. in Cape Coral
• Lakes Library, 15290 Bass Road in Fort Myers
• Tringali Rec Center, 3450 N. Access Road in Englewood
• Hardee County Library, 315 N. 6th Ave., in Wauchula
The hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Closed Sundays.
The purpose of the Community Recovery Center is to encourage and support a localized, community-based approach to disaster recovery. The center will promote the ability of the community to tailor recovery programs, resources, and services to its population’s unmet needs.
Survivors with questions about FEMA assistance can go online to disasterassistance.gov or call the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362. The line is open every day from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET. Help is available in most languages.
