FEMA office closing but aid still available

(McAlester-AP) -- A Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Recovery Center in McAlester is to close its doors tomorrow, but officials say help will still be available.

The office was established to help those who suffered damages or expenses as a result of the Christmas Day ice storm.

Although the office will be closing, F-E-M-A spokesman Brad Craine says those who think they may be eligible or need questions answered can get help with a phone call.

Craine says those needing assistance can still apply until March Sixth.
