Local disaster recovery centers open to help Houston-area flood victims

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Four disaster recovery centers opened today to help people whose homes or businesses were affected by the record flooding in April.

We were initially told Federal Emergency Management Agency money could not be given to people who lost vehicles, but we've now heard otherwise. A FEMA representative said at a news conference Monday, "It's a case-by-case basis, but there is money available for people who lost cars."

LOCATIONS:

Greenspoint Office Building, 16800 Imperial Valley, Houston, TX 77074

Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet St., Houston, TX 77074

Cypress Creek Christian Church and Community Center, 6823 Cypresswood Dr., Spring, TX 77379

Lone Star College Cy-Fair Library, 9191 Barker Cypress Rd., Cypress, TX 77433

There will be several agencies, including Federal Emergency Management Agency officials on hand to help you apply for aid.

They'll be open from 9am to 6pm during the rest of the week.
