BUCKS COUNTY, PA – A Federal Emergency Management Agency resource center for residents and businesses in Bucks County affected by the remnants of Hurricane Ida opened on Friday and will remain open until Saturday.
The Disaster Recovery Center shares space with a county-run COVID-19 vaccination clinic in the former Giant grocery store at 2395 York Road in Jamison.
This week, the center will operate from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. County officials said plans for other sites in Upper and Lower Bucks are underway.
The disaster recovery center is managed by FEMA, in partnership with emergency agencies at the county and state levels. Recovery specialists from FEMA and the US Small Business Administration will be available to help homeowners, tenants and business owners apply for federal help, with additional agencies and services also available.
Since the declaration of major disaster released on September 10, the federal government has sent more than $ 1 million in aid to residents of Bucks County.
