DRS Mission:
The organization will collect requests for Madison County
residents who need help after the storm and passes them on to
a group of non-profits who can help address their needs -
including repairs and reconstruction. The organization will
look for those who may not have received any or enough help
from insurance and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Requirements: Residents must
register with FEMA before asking for help from Disaster
Recovery Services. |

Requests for Help: Victims of
the Tornado who have registered with FEMA and feel they need
further help can call DRS at 1-877-664-2204. |

review the validity of each request and what each person or
family needs.
