FEMA and Recovery Services at Belleayre

The following is from the Watershed Post. You can go to their site to read the full article.

Starting today, FEMA will be opening a disaster recovery center at the Belleayre Ski Center in Highmount. The center will be open today (Friday, September 2) from 12 noon to 8pm, and after that, every day from 8am to 8pm, until further notice. People who need to register for FEMA aid can go to Belleayre, where a station will be set up to help people go through the interview process they will need to complete in order to get help.

The most important thing people can do if they need assistance is to register with FEMA, either by calling 1-800-621-3362 (that's 800-621-FEMA), or by registering online at disasterassistance.gov or fema.gov. Either way, applicants will have to answer a series of questions.
