Disaster Recovery Center  opened in Cicero to help  Cicero Residents Impacted by Summer Flooding

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Town of Cicero announced the opening Tuesday (August 29) of a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) located at Morton College. 

The Disaster Recovery Center, run by FEMA, is a location where residents who suffered Flood Damage can apply in person for Individual Assistance and Small Business Administration assistance, if they have not already applied online.

“The Town of Cicero is coordinating daily with local, state, and federal agencies to make sure our residents receive every possible resource in recovering from this summer’s devastating flooding,” said Town of Cicero President Larry Dominick who initiated the post-flood response that secured FEMA Disaster Relief approval. 

“This Disaster Recovery Center is an important asset where residents can connect in-person with FEMA officials to get help to apply for Federal Flood assistance and to get answers to many questions theory may have regarding insurance claims and multi-family living situations.”

Dominick, who brought together local, regional and state officials immediately after the flooding to petition President Biden to approve disaster funding for Cicero homeowners, said the work will not end until Cicero residents get the Federal Funding relief they deserve.

 

“We are working day and night to help the residents of Cicero recover from this disaster while at the same time engaging our regional partners to implement a long-term solution to make sure this never happens again,” said Dominick. 

“Cicero’s residents are grateful to FEMA, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, and the Cook County Department of Emergency Management and Regional Security for all their help in securing this and other resources.”

Bilingual language assistance is available at the DRCs.

A Disaster Recovery Center may be able to help residents:

  • Apply for FEMA assistance.
  • Learn the status of your FEMA application.
  • Understand any letters or contacts you get from FEMA.
  • Learn more about additional disaster assistance programs.
  • Find housing and rental assistance information.
  • Get answers to questions or resolve problems
  • Get referrals to agencies that may offer other assistance.
  • Learn about Small Business Administration programs.

The Cicero Disaster Recovery Center is located within Morton College at 3801 S Central Ave, Cicero, IL 60804. It is open from 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday. Closed on Sunday.

FEMA y el Municipio de Cicero anunciaron la apertura el martes (29 de agosto) de un Centro de Recuperación de Desastres (CRD) en Morton College.

El Centro de Recuperación de Desastres, administrado por FEMA, es un lugar donde los residentes que sufrieron daños por inundaciones pueden presentar una solicitud en persona para Asistencia Individual y asistencia de la Administración de Pequeños Negocios, si aún no lo han hecho en línea.

“El Municipio de Cicero está coordinando diariamente con agencias locales, estatales y federales para asegurarse de que nuestros residentes reciban todos los recursos posibles para recuperarse de las devastadoras inundaciones de este verano”, dijo el Presidente del Municipio de Cicero, Larry Dominick, quien inició la respuesta posterior a las inundaciones que aseguró la aprobación del Alivio de Desastres de FEMA.

“Este Centro de Recuperación de Desastres es un recurso importante donde los residentes pueden conectarse en persona con funcionarios de FEMA para obtener ayuda para solicitar asistencia federal por inundaciones y obtener respuestas a muchas preguntas que puedan tener sobre reclamos de seguros y situaciones de vivienda multifamiliar”.

Dominick, quien reunió a funcionarios locales, regionales y estatales inmediatamente después de las inundaciones para solicitar al Presidente Biden la aprobación de fondos de desastre para los propietarios de Cicero, dijo que el trabajo no terminará hasta que los residentes de Cicero reciban el alivio de financiamiento federal que merecen.

“Estamos trabajando día y noche para ayudar a los residentes de Cicero a recuperarse de este desastre, al mismo tiempo que colaboramos con nuestros socios regionales para implementar una solución a largo plazo que garantice que esto nunca vuelva a suceder”, dijo Dominick.

“Los residentes de Cicero están agradecidos con FEMA, la Agencia de Manejo de Emergencias de Illinois y el Departamento de Manejo de Emergencias y Seguridad Regional del Condado de Cook por toda su ayuda para asegurar estos y otros recursos”.

La asistencia bilingüe está disponible en los CRD.

  • Un Centro de Recuperación de Desastres puede ayudar a los residentes:
  • Solicitar asistencia de FEMA.
  • Conocer el estado de su solicitud de FEMA.
  • Comprender cualquier carta o contacto que reciba de FEMA.
  • Conocer más acerca de programas adicionales de asistencia en desastres.
  • Obtener información sobre viviendas y asistencia de alquiler.
  • Obtener respuestas a preguntas o resolver problemas.
  • Obtener referencias a agencias que pueden ofrecer otra asistencia.
  • Conocer los programas de la Administración de Pequeños Negocios.

El Centro de Recuperación de Desastres de Cicero se encuentra en Morton College, en la dirección 3801 S Central Ave, Cicero, IL 60804. Está abierto de 7 AM a 7 PM de lunes a sábado y cerrado los domingos.
