may deploy mobile DRCs to provide temporary DRC
support until fixed facilities are available.
Each Parish can play a critical role in the success of a DRC
in delivering assistance to citizens by having potential sites
pre-selected before an event. Selected sites should:
• Be centrally located to areas of damage.
• Be a public facility – with no cost lease.
• Not require the DRC to co-locate with Points
of Distribution (POD) sites or food stamp
distribution centers.
• Have parking and be handicapped accessible.
Once selected, a mandatory inspection by a FEMA
Inspection Team occurs prior to signing a lease.
