a new FEMA Disaster Recovery Center has been established to help residents of Charlotte County. Located at the South County Regional Park Recreation Center at 670 Cooper St. in Punta Gorda, the center is now operational. It is designed to serve as a hub for post-disaster support and will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, according to the Charlotte County.
The center has been established to provide survivors with critical information and assistance following a disaster's specific impact in the area. Services at the Disaster Recovery Center include guidance on applying for federal aid and disaster loans through FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration. Survivors can also get updates on their existing applications and learn about other resources available to support their recovery, as reported by the Charlotte County.
Representatives from Florida state agencies, FEMA, and the Small Business Administration will be available to address individual concerns and provide support for affected residents at the new Disaster Recovery Center in Punta Gorda.
