Because many Missouri families have been impacted by devastating flooding, the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency is working with state, local, faith-based and volunteer agencies to provide one-stop shops for recovery assistance at Multi-Agency Resource Centers (MARCs) across the impacted areas of the state.
In this area, one is planned May 9 at St. Robert at the community center at 114 J.J. Williamson Drive and May 9-10 at the West Plains Civic Center.
A total of 15 MARC locations have been selected. In three locations, the MARCs will be open for two days. MARCs provide trained workers who can identify resources for assistance with housing, public assistance, mental health counseling, or to help understand insurance policies and the claim filing process.
SEMA partners in the MARCs include the American Red Cross, Missouri Department of Social Services, Missouri Department of Mental Health, Missouri Department of Insurance, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Catholic Charities, Society of St. Vincent DePaul, The Salvation Army and Convoy of Hope.
