Updates from United Way

Johnson County State Relief Center
One-stop center for flood victims needing help with an array of issues.
o Including replacing birth certificates, applying for federal aid, housing assistance, transportation assistance, and more.
• Open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week
• Located on the Franklin College Campus - Johnson Center for Fine Arts
• Corner of Branigin Blvd. and Grizzly Drive
• UPDATE: Victims may call ACCESS (317) 738-5523 to arrange free transportation

*UPDATE: Residents please be aware of scams taking place - FEMA is warning of two scams currently taking place.
o The first involves people wearing FEMA shirts going door to door asking for donations. FEMA says it never ask for donations.
o The second scam involves people posing as FEMA agents, calling homeowners and asking for their bank account numbers in order to deposit money. FEMA says it will never call and ask for that information.
However, when victims call FEMA, that's when a representative will ask for personal information.

*Residents affected by the flood – FEMA will need photos of the damaged items from your home and will need photos of the water damage caused to your home. Please document all damage and create an inventory in order to apply for assistance when FEMA arrives.
