Morgan City disaster center to close Friday

St. Mary Parish residents affected by Hurricane Isaac have just a few days left to visit the State/FEMA Disaster Recovery Center in Morgan City.

The center, located at 728 Myrtle Street, will close at 6 p.m. Friday.

Recovery centers have opened in several affected parishes to help homeowners, renters and business owners who sustained uninsured or underinsured losses to their property as a result of the storm.

Federal officials say although the center is closing, residents can contact FEMA online at www.disasterassistance.gov or via a toll-free phone line, 1-800-621-3362, that will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
