FEMA Support

Thank you for your continued service. If you have losses and have not registered with FEMA, please do so immediately (www.DisasterAssistance.gov) We have dedicated FEMA support that will be in Terminal 5 (OLC) this afternoon from approximately 1430 to 1800 today, and will coordinate for them to be out in the terminals over the next couple of days to ensure everyone has an opportunity to get the help they need.  Also, here are the list of Recovery Centers from FEMA:

2 more Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) are open in Nassau County to provide one-on-one assistance for survivors of Hurricane Sandy.  

Specialists from the state of New York, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are on hand to answer questions and provide information on the types of help available to storm survivors.

The recovery centers are one-stop shops where eligible survivors can get assistance as quickly as possible.  However, visiting with a recovery specialist is not necessary for disaster survivors who need help. 

DRCs are open seven days a week until further notice. The new locations in Nassau County are:
