San Juan, Puerto Rico - An additional Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) is now open in Arroyo. The joint DRC, a partnership between the municipality, the Government of Puerto Rico and FEMA will help Hurricane Fiona survivors apply for FEMA assistance, upload documents needed for their application and answer questions in person.
Representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are on hand at the DRC to provide program information and explain how to apply for SBA’s low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, businesses, private nonprofits and renters, and provide information about repairs and rebuilding to make homes more disaster resistant.
Services are provided in English and Spanish. If you need a reasonable accommodation or a sign language interpreter to communicate with FEMA, please send an email to FEMA-PRaccesible@fema.dhs.gov. You can also call 1-833-285-7448, press 2 for Spanish.
The additional center is located at:
*
Terminal de Carros Públicos de Arroyo (next to the City Hall), 178 Calle Morse, Arroyo, PR 00714
FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers are open 7 days a week 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. unless otherwise stated. To find your nearest DRC and its hours of operation, click on the FEMA DRC link: DRC Locator.
