We have attached the link to FEMA's website (Click Here) to start the process for disaster assistance. It includes a link to take a pre-survey questionnaire to determine your eligibility for disaster assistance. You can then create your account and start the process for assistance if eligible. Lee County's FEMA Disaster Recovery Center should be open today at the McSwain Center on Tramway Road sometime today, Friday, April 22, 2011. Once it's open we will publish that information.
