CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Disaster Recovery Center for the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Mecklenburg County is set to open on Wednesday.
The center is the latest to open to assist North Carolina survivors who experienced loss from Helene's damage and impacts.
The center is at Corvian Community School on David Taylor Drive in University City, and the doors will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
FEMA has already opened in North Carolina in Asheville, Bakersville, Boone, Brevard, Hendersonville, Jefferson, Lenoir, Marion, Morganton, Newland, Old Fort, Sparta, Sylva and Waynesville.
FEMA representatives will be there to talk with anybody impacted by Helene about any losses. FEMA financial assistance may include money for basic home repairs, personal property losses or other uninsured, disaster-related needs, such as childcare, transportation, medical needs, funeral or dental expenses.
Residents in 39 North Carolina counties and tribal members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians can visit any open center, including locations in other states. No appointment is needed.
There are still so many ways you can help those in need, either by donating to the Red Cross, volunteer your time with the Red Cross or Samaritan's Purse.
