Representatives from the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), volunteer groups and other agencies are at the centers to answer questions about disaster assistance and low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters and businesses. They can also help survivors apply for federal disaster assistance. (Source: https://www.fema.gov/disaster-recovery-centers)

D-SNAP Program
The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or D-SNAP, is a way to help individuals and families still struggling after major disaster events.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service and administered by the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services, these special benefits provide a one-time payment for the purchase of food to households who are not normally eligible for SNAP.
Unlike the regular SNAP program, these benefits can be used to purchase ready-to-eat foods from EBT approved retailers in these counties in addition to regularly approved SNAP food items. The hot food waiver expires on November 17, 2018. After that date, families must purchase foods according to the normal SNAP policies, which do not include hot foods.
The D-SNAP program will operate in Baker, Calhoun, Clay, Crisp, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Laurens, Lee, Miller, Mitchell, Randolph, Seminole, Sumter, Terrell, Thomas, Tift, Turner and Worth counties.
