FEMA to open Harvey call center in Carson City
CARSON CITY — The Federal Emergency Management Agency will open a recovery service center in Carson City to handle calls from Hurricane Harvey survivors applying for disaster assistance.
FEMA, which plans to have 300 customer service representatives working in the center, will send U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FEMA employees and recruit Nevadans to staff the new center.
“I am pleased that Nevadans will be helping their fellow Americans and we’ll work with FEMA to ensure its hiring demands are fulfilled so assistance can be provided in a swift manner and the victims of the Hurricane can begin the difficult process of restoring their lives,” Gov. Brian Sandoval said in a statement.
The Recovery Service Center will receive and process applications for disaster assistance.
