ROCK HILL, S.C. — A warm and inviting new disaster recovery center is set to open its doors in Rock Hill this Thursday, and it’s all aimed at assisting those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Residents of this charming city can pop by the new center located at the York County Library, at 138 E. Black Street, to get the guidance and help they need.
This center is designed as a one-stop shop, making it easier for residents to connect with representatives from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and apply for federal assistance. It’s a great opportunity for anyone who needs support in getting back on their feet after the storm.
At this location, visitors will be able to sit down and meet one-on-one with FEMA staff who can walk them through the application process. Plus, they’ll receive referrals for other community support services available in the area. It’s a friendly and helpful environment aimed at making recovery a bit smoother for those who need it the most.
The disaster recovery center will be open to the public for various hours throughout the week. To ensure you receive the help you need, it might be a good idea to check the specific hours of operation before visiting. And remember, you’re not alone in this – Rock Hill has come together to support one another during such trying times.

If ever in doubt about where to go, you can simply text “DRC” followed by your zip code to 43362 to receive the address of the nearest disaster recovery center. It’s that easy!
Keep in mind that residents of a variety of counties, including Greenville, Greenwood, Spartanburg, York, and even the Catawba Indian Nation, are eligible for federal assistance as they recover from Hurricane Helene.
