Disaster Recovery Center in Lafourche Parish to Close
LAFOURCHE PARISH – The Disaster Recovery Center located at 115 Texas St, Raceland, LA 70394 in Lafourche Parish will close Saturday, August 1 at 4PM. Homeowners and renters are still eligible for FEMA assistance after Tropical Storm Arthur on June 17-18. Residents can continue to file a claim by going online at disasterassistance.gov. The deadline to apply is Aug. 31.
Survivors with flood insurance should file a claim with their flood insurance provider first, then apply for FEMA assistance. By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance. If your flood insurance policy does not cover all your damage expenses, you may then be eligible for federal assistance. Note: Homeowners and renters’ insurance typically do not cover flood damage. Filing a claim for flood damage under these policies may not result in coverage and could affect your insurance record.
If you need more information or additional help:
- Download the FEMA App to complete your application and find other resources.
- Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 between 6 AM and 1 AM Central Time for assistance in multiple languages. If you use a relay service, such as video relay (VRS), captioned telephone, or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.
