FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers close this week
It’s the last week to register in-person for FEMA assistance in person at a Disaster Recovery Center.
The agency has already approved $8,255,543 in assistance across four South Dakota counties, officials said Monday. That amount is across 1,310 applicants.
The disaster centers in Lincoln and Union County both close October 4 at 6 p.m. Individuals can still apply online.
FEMA is also holding mitigation advice events this week at Olson’s Ace Hardware in Beresford. From Oct. 2 through Oct. 5, specialists can help answer questions on how to prevent damage from future disasters, techniques for rebuilding homes, and how to help owners and renters reduce disaster risk.
