A Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) will reopen on Wednesday, Nov. 14 until Friday, Nov. 16 in Crawford County to help renters, homeowners and businesses in Wisconsin affected by the severe storms and flooding of Aug. 17 through Sept. 14.

The DRC will be located at the Gays Mills Community Center, 16381 Highway 131, Gays Mills. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. all three days. 

At the DRC, representatives from FEMA, U.S. Small Business Administration, Wisconsin Emergency Management and other state of Wisconsin agencies will be available to explain disaster assistance programs, answer questions about written correspondence and provide literature about repairs and rebuilding to make homes more flood resistant.

Before visiting a recovery center, survivors should register for federal assistance in one of the following ways:

•Online at DisasterAssistance.gov;

•Use the FEMA App; or

•Call (800) 621-3362 (including 711 or Video Relay). People who use a TTY may call (800) 462-7585. The toll-free numbers are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. Multilingual operators are available.

Registering with any other agency does not register you with FEMA. If you are unsure, call (800) 621-3362 and a representative can assist you.

If you need an accommodation when you visit a DRC, such as an American Sign Language interpreter, let FEMA staff know.

Nine Wisconsin counties have been approved for individual assistance including Crawford, Dane, Juneau, La Crosse, Marquette, Monroe, Richland, Sauk and Vernon counties. Additional recovery centers will be opening to support survivors in many of these counties.

The last day to register for FEMA assistance is Dec. 17.
