Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other state agencies are going door-to-door in Suwannee County to meet with flood victims and to assess needs.

“We do have community relations teams out in the field,” FEMA Public Information Officer Jim Homstad said by phone Friday morning.

Homstad said teams are meeting victims face to face in their neighborhoods or at the Disaster Recovery Center set up Thursday at Suwannee County’s Emergency Operations Center. Homstad said the goal is to get the recovery process moving and get the help to those who need it. Teams will be in the area until further notice.

Residents can visit the DRC located at 617 Ontario Avenue SW, Suite 200, for assistance seven days a week from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
