NEW Disaster Recovery Center<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/B> <\/A>TO OPEN IN CONCORD<\/B><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\n

ANDOVER, Mass. \u2014 <\/SPAN><\/B>A Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) in Concord will open at 9 a.m., Monday, May 3 to provide face-to-face help to Middlesex County residents about any disaster-related need or concern caused by the record-setting rainfall and resulting flooding beginning in mid-March.<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

 <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

The center is located at the:<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Concord Armory<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

91 Everett Street<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Concord, MA 01742<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

 <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

The center will operate daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday until further notice.<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

 <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

The latest center joins the six DRCs currently open in disaster designated counties. To date, the total DRC outreach effort has provided recovery information to nearly 2,400 homeowners, renters and business owners with uninsured losses or damages arising from the severe flooding.<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Disaster officials ask that before visiting any DRC, people first register by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362)<\/STRONG> or 800-462-7585 (TTY)<\/SPAN> <\/SPAN>for people with speech or hearing disabilities.<\/SPAN> The toll-free numbers are staffed 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week until further notice<\/STRONG>.<\/B> Multilingual registration assistance and help is available. Online registration is available at www.DisasterAssistance.gov<\/A>.<\/B> <\/P>
\n

Once registered, staff at a center can quickly review and update applicant information and provide specific answers to individual questions and concerns. Center specialists can also identify possible help from voluntary agencies or provide disaster-related information to reduce future damage risks. <\/B><\/P>
\n

U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) representatives will be at the disaster centers to answer any questions about the SBA\u2019s low-interest disaster loan program for homeowners, renters, businesses and private non-profit organizations of all sizes. These loans are to repair or replace real estate and\/or personal property damaged by the storms and flooding. <\/P>
\n

Representatives will help complete and accept SBA disaster loan applications. Anyone not able to go to a DRC should call the SBA Customer Service Center from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. \u2014 5 p.m. on Saturday toll-free at 800-659-2955, or 800-877-8339 (TTY) for people with speech or hearing disabilities, for information and assistance. Another option is to visit the SBA Web site at <\/SPAN>www.sba.gov\/services\/disasterassistance<\/SPAN><\/A> or send an email to <\/SPAN>disastercustomerservice@sba.gov<\/SPAN><\/A>.<\/P>
