On 9/18, Adams County will open a Disaster Assistance Center at the Commerce City Recreation Center to connect victims with flood-relief resources, including how to apply for FEMA assistance. The center, located at 6060 E. Parkway Drive in Commerce City, will be open 9/18-9/21 from 12 p.m. - 7 p.m. daily. Based on community need, hours may be expanded; for more information, visit adcogov.org or c3gov. Resources will include small business assistance, humanitarian aid, temporary housing, insurance counseling, flood damage assessments and more. Representatives will also be on hand to help individuals register for financial assistance from FEMA. Adams County residents may be eligible to receive financial aid from FEMA if total county damages exceed a certain threshold. For that reason, it is important that all residents and property owners who have experienced flood-related damage or losses report their information to the Disaster Assistance Center.
