“The opening of these centers represents one more step forward in the effort to get our residents' lives back to normal as quickly as possible,” Malloy said. “Any individuals or businesses who have suffered losses or damages as a result of Storm Sandy should visit a center and work with the staff there to review the benefits they are entitled to.”

The centers are open to residents of Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex and New London counties who suffered damage from Hurricane Sandy. FEMA requests that you register with them by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) or online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov before visiting a DRC.
