FEMA is closing its Disaster Recovery Centers in Texas on June 19 to observe the Juneteenth federal holiday.

The disaster recovery centers exist to provide one-on-one help to Texans affected by the severe storms, tornadoes, flooding and straight-line winds that occurred from April 26 to June 5.

Disaster recovery operations will resume at 7 a.m. on Thursday, June 20.

Since the storms, FEMA has opened several recovery centers providing individual and public assistance in more than a dozen North Texas counties. To locate the Disaster Recovery Center closest to you, use the online DRC Locator.
