FEMA News Release.
A FEMA Disaster Recovery Center opens in Southbury, New Haven County on Wednesday, October 2. The DRC, a temporary facility established in partnership between the State of Connecticut and FEMA, will help survivors affected by the August 18-19 severe storm, flooding, landslides, and mudslides apply for FEMA assistance, upload documents needed for their application and get their questions answered in person. The DCR is open to any individual of Fairfield, Litchfield, or New Haven county affected by the flood.
The center is accessible to people with disabilities. The facility is equipped with assistive technology equipment that allows disaster survivors to interact with staff. Services are provided in English and Spanish. If you need a reasonable accommodation or a sign language interpreter to communicate with FEMA, please call 1-833-285-7448, press 2 for Spanish.
