HURRICANE KATRINA DISASTER ASSISTANCE CENTER HOURS CHANGE



Following the Columbus Day weekend, the City's Katrina Welcome Center for Hurricane Katrina evacuees will be open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. The center will no longer be open Saturdays and Sundays.

Additionally, the Welcome Center will be closed October 8-10 in observance of the Columbus Day holiday and reopen Tuesday, October 11, at 12 p.m.

Located at 80 Centre St., the Welcome Center is the entry point to the City's Disaster Assistance Service Center (DASC) for hurricane evacuees. Evacuees seeking social services from the City should report to 80 Centre St. to schedule an appointment at the DASC and fill out initial paperwork.


Staffed by representatives of several City, State and federal agencies and disaster relief organizations, the DASC addresses the needs of those displaced by last month's storm, including housing, clothing, and financial recovery.

For more information about the City's efforts to support victims of Hurricane Katrina, call 311 or visit NYC.gov.
