Kershaw County will host a FEMA DSA team at the Kershaw County United Way facility located at 110 East Dekalb Street in Camden. The team will be in place starting Monday, October 21 through Wednesday, October 23. The operating hours will be approximately 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.
Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) teams help citizens register with FEMA and answer questions regarding individual assistance programs. However, DSA representatives DO NOT have the authority to issue or approve FEMA individual assistance; they may only assist with the registration process.
FEMA’s Individual Assistance program is designed to help disaster survivors with basic critical needs such as a safe, sanitary and functional place to live during recovery from a disaster. Eligible homeowners and renters in 28 designated South Carolina counties and the Catawba Indian Nation may be eligible to receive FEMA assistance.
