Another disaster assistance center opened today

A Disaster Center will be open Wednesday and Thursday, June 29 and 30 in Carroll County to connect disaster survivors with federal specialists who can help them start their recoveries.

The Disaster Assistance Center (DAC) will operate in the Berryville Fire Department, 400 N. Main, Berryville, AR 72616. Hours both days are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Survivors of the April 14 to June 3 storms, tornadoes and flooding can meet with specialists from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration. The staff can answer questions and provide information on the recovery process. Advisers from FEMA's Hazard Mitigation unit will also be on hand to answer questions and present information on preventing future disasters and the National Flood Insurance Program.

Arkansans in Carroll County who have already registered with FEMA will receive automated phone calls from the agency to inform them of the center's opening.

To expedite the assistance process, Arkansans are encouraged to register with FEMA before visiting, but registering is not required to receive help at the center.
