FEMA/State disaster recovery center open in Worthington

A FEMA/State Disaster Recovery Center is now open in Worthington to help residents kickstart their recovery after the severe storms and flooding of June 16 – July 4. 


Specialists from FEMA, the state of Minnesota and the U.S. Small Business Administration will be at the center to help survivors apply for federal disaster assistance, upload documents, get their questions answered in person, access other types of help that may be available and learn ways to make their property more disaster resistant. The center will be located at the JBS Field House, 700 Second Ave., and be open 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It will be closed on Sundays and for the Labor Day holiday.

 

Assistance in languages other than English, including American sign language, and translated materials are available at the center.


Survivors don’t need to visit a Disaster Recovery Center to apply for FEMA assistance. To apply without visiting a center, go online to DisasterAssistance.gov, download the FEMA mobile app or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. If you use a relay service such as video relay service, captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service when you apply.
