The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Town of Cicero announced the opening of a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) located at Morton College on Tuesday. 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. “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,” said Cicero President Dominick.
