PLAINFIELD – A Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) is now at Goddard College from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The joint DRC, a temporary facility established in partnership between Plainfield, the state of Vermont and FEMA, will have disaster assistance specialists available to help disaster survivors apply for FEMA Individual Assistance, upload documents needed for their application and answer questions in person.
Those affected by the disaster do not have to visit a DRC in order to apply. Survivors can also register in one of the following ways: online at DisasterAssistance.gov. The FEMA website is accessible and includes language translation options or by phone at (800) 621-3362. Press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish and 3 for all other languages. If you use video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service. Phone lines operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
All centers are accessible to people with disabilities and functional needs and are equipped with assistive technology equipment.
The DRC location at the college is at 123 Pitkin Road.
