In the wake of recent flooding, residents of Williamson County now have a new resource to turn to for assistance. Starting July 18, a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) will begin to operate in the county, offering direct support to those affected by the deluge. This facility, a collaboration between FEMA and local authorities, will be set up at the Williamson County EMS North Campus, located at 3189 SE Inner Loop in Georgetown.
The DRC will stay open through August 10, welcoming visitors from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Here, FEMA representatives will be on-hand to assist individuals in navigating the various programs geared towards disaster relief. Without the need to make an appointment, homeowners, renters, and business owners who sustained damage due to the flood can get the help they require directly from experts.
According to the Williamson County website, FEMA's assistance may extend to numerous needs arising from the disaster, encompassing temporary housing, home repairs, and even personal property losses not covered by insurance. This can significantly alleviate the burdens faced by those who may also require assistance with unexpected medical and dental costs provoked by the floods.
Alongside the DRC, Williamson County has also taken initiative to host a Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) at the same venue. This event, running from Friday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., is to gather more than a dozen local and nonprofit organizations, all poised to offer necessary resources and recovery guidance. To streamline the process, affected residents may register with FEMA before visiting the DRC by calling 800-621-3362, going to disasterassistance.gov, or using the FEMA mobile app.
