The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced that the Disaster Recovery Centers in South Dakota will soon be closing. These centers were established to provide assistance to individuals and families impacted by recent disasters in the state.
FEMA opened the Disaster Recovery Centers in response to severe storms and flooding that occurred earlier this year. The centers have been providing a range of services to help residents with disaster recovery, including information on available assistance programs, guidance on filing insurance claims, and help with accessing other disaster resources.
FEMA representatives have been working closely with state and local officials to ensure that residents affected by the disasters are able to access the assistance they need. The decision to close the Disaster Recovery Centers comes as recovery efforts in the state have progressed and the demand for in-person services has decreased.
Residents who still need assistance with disaster recovery can continue to access support from FEMA through the agency’s helpline and website. FEMA encourages residents to stay in touch with their case managers and to reach out for help if needed.
While the Disaster Recovery Centers are closing, FEMA remains committed to supporting the residents of South Dakota as they recover from the recent disasters. The agency will continue to work with state and local partners to ensure that residents have access to the resources and assistance they need to rebuild and recover.
As the centers prepare to close, FEMA urges residents to take advantage of the remaining days to visit a center if they need assistance. The agency is grateful to the state and local officials, as well as the residents of South Dakota, for their cooperation and resilience throughout the recovery process.
