FEMA Representatives in DuPage

FEMA Community Relations Teams will be in DuPage County over the course of the next several days, going door-to-door to let people know how they can sign up to receive federal assistance regarding the recent floods.  Please note that the teams may not visit each and every area of DuPage County.   

Here are some important items to note: 

1. The only ways for people to receive assistance are to register by going to the www.DisasterAssistance.gov website, or by calling the 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) telephone number.  Any forms or paperwork that residents and/or governmental entities previously submitted were used solely for the purpose of conducting the preliminary damage assessments.  It is important that residents understand that filling out the previously-distributed FEMA Individual Assessment forms did not register them to receive assistance – they must register via the above website or phone number if they would like FEMA assistance. 
2. The FEMA personnel who are going door-to-door are solely doing so to promote the fact that disaster assistance is available and that people can register by going online or calling the phone number listed above.  As such, FEMA representatives will not be asking anyone for personal information, nor will they need to enter anyone’s home.  It should also be noted that the FEMA representatives who are currently in the area have no decision-making power in terms of whether or not someone qualifies for assistance and/or how much assistance any particular resident may receive.

Additional information on disaster recovery assistance is available online at www.protectdupage.org.

Village eNewsletter Coming in October

The Village of Addison has announced that it will no longer publish the Spotlight on Addison Community Newsletter after the Back to School (August/September) 2010 issue.  This decision was reached collectively amongst the eight agencies that publish the newsletter, as a cost saving measure.

The Village will, however, debut an electronic newsletter the following month.  The new eNewsletter will be published monthly, and will contain the same information that had been included in the Village's portion of Spotlight.

Residents who are signed up to receive e-mail updates from the Village already, will automatically begin receiving the eNewsletter in October.  Residents who wish to sign up, may do so here.  Remember that your e-mail address will never be shared with any outside agency, and you can ask to be removed from the e-mail list at any time.
