CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV)—The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) in Mecklenburg County announced on Wednesday, Nov. 13, that it will permanently close at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15.
Officials gave no reason as to why the center is closing; however, they did emphasize North Carolinians will still have many options for in-person help at the other 24 open DRC locations in the state.
“It is not necessary to go to a center to apply for FEMA assistance,” a spokesperson wrote. “The fastest way to apply is online at DisasterAssistance.gov or via the FEMA App.”
