KOSCIUSKO — The Disaster Recovery Center in Mentone will close permanently at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 16.

The DRC is located at 201 W. Main St., Mentone. You can still get help after the center closes by going online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov/; calling the FEMA Helpline at (800) 621-3362 for voice, 711 and Video Relay Service. If you are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability and use a TTY, call (800) 462-7585. Helpline numbers are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET, seven days a week. You also may download the FEMA app for smartphones.

The deadline to register with FEMA is Thursday, July 5, so if you haven’t registered, do so as soon as possible.

If you have registered, you are encouraged to keep in touch with FEMA by calling the Helpline with any questions. FEMA cannot duplicate insurance payments, but if you are underinsured you may receive help after your claim has been settled.
