Although the only remaining Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Disaster Center closed last week in Douglas County, the agency still has an active presence here.

This week FEMA has an informational table in Home Depot, 7399 Douglas Boulevard, Douglasville. It is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, the final day.

Last week, FEMA had a similar display at Lowe’s.

“FEMA will be offering one-on-one assistance to people who are interested in rebuilding their homes and help protecting from future disasters,” said Ricardo “Zuni” Zuniga, FEMA spokesperson. “We also have representatives here at the SBA (Small Business Administration) loan center in the Old Courthouse in case people have questions for us.”

Information available at the Home Depot table includes publications on reducing mold and mildew, protecting electrical systems, flood insurance and securing personal property. The free publications are available in both English and Spanish.

Zuniga said flood victims can still apply for federal assistance by calling toll-free 800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY call 800-462-7585.

He said FEMA grants so far to Douglas County individuals total $5.4 million.

“We’ve received 3,600 applications for assistance from Douglas County residents,” Zuniga said. “More than 1,800 people passed through the two disaster centers, with 1,300 at the Heritage Baptist Church center.”

FEMA opened the two disaster centers after record rainfall and flooding hit Douglas County on Sept. 21-22, claiming seven lives and causing extensive property damage.
