The DRC is a place where victims of either hurricane can register for FEMA and gather information useful to them.

&uot;If they’re already registered, they can check their status and find out who they need to talk to about getting help for whatever they need help with,&uot; Civil Defense Director George Souderes said.

The plan is to locate the center in Magnolia Mall in the old Cato building.

Souderes said there would be representatives manning booths helping people tackle questions about health care, insurance and housing, among other things.

FEMA opened a Disaster Recovery Center in Wilkinson County on Wednesday. It is located on US 61 just south of Woodville in the Wilkinson County Industrial Complex.

After learning about the planned DRC, the board turned its focus to the matter of temporary housing.

Harry Sherwood, liaison to FEMA’s Emergency Housing Task Force talked about emerging plans for trailers to be moved into Adams County in order to house evacuees.

The prospect of this sparked a flurry of questions from the supervisors.

Most of the questions pertained to the logistics of temporary housing, some of which Sherwood addressed and some said he would take back to Jackson with him.

The process is in motion, Sherwood said, the nuts and bolts would be worked out in the near future. Ultimately, it is up to the county.

&uot;Whether or not a trailer park is established in this county is really up to the county and up to the city,&uot; Sherwood said.

&uot;FEMA would not move something into this county that the county doesn’t want.&uot;

In other business, the board voted unanimously to ask for members of the road department to work overtime on Fridays and Saturdays &045;&045; on a voluntary basis &045;&045; in an effort to clear debris from county roads more quickly. The overtime would be reimbursable under FEMA rules.
