FEMA Mobile Disaster Recovery Centers Open to Orange County Residents

FEMA will open Mobile Disaster Recovery Centers in Orange County this week for residents who were affected by Hurricane Ida to get answers to their disaster-related questions, get help uploading documents and get referrals to federal and state agencies.

Locations, dates and time are as follows:

Orange County -- 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Town of New Windsor Community Center
555 Union Avenue
New Windsor, NY 12553

Munger Cottage Senior Center
19 Little League Drive
Cornwall, NY 12518
Saturday, Dec. 18, Sunday, Dec. 19, and Monday, Dec. 20

Survivors do not need to visit a recovery center to apply for FEMA assistance. You can apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov, use the FEMA mobile app or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. If you use video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA the number for that service. Helpline operators are available from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Press 2 for Spanish. Press 3 for an interpreter who speaks your language.

FEMA works closely with the U.S. Small Business Administration, which provides low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters and businesses. Some applicants for FEMA assistance may be referred to SBA. If you are referred and SBA determines that you are not eligible for a loan, SBA will refer you back to FEMA, which may open the door to additional FEMA assistance.
