The Federal Emergency Management Agency set up a Disaster Recovery Center at the Hudson River Maritime Musuem in Kingston on Monday. The center will be open every weekday through Friday, December 7 to help businesses and individuals who were affected by the Sandy storms to register for FEMA aid.
Art Snyder of Ulster County Emergency Services writes on the department's blog:
Unlike the registration centers that were open last weekend in Kingston and Saugerties, the DRC will provide residents and businesses with an opportunity to talk to FEMA and Small Business Association representatives about their specific situation. Affected property owners are encouraged to apply for assistance by calling FEMA at 800-621-3362, registering on line at DisasterAssistance.gov, or by stopping in at the DRC.
The DRC will be open from 10am to 5pm daily for the rest of the week, at 50 Rondout Landing on Kingston's Rondout waterfront.
