The Federal Emergency Management Agency has now opened a disaster recovery center within the low income neighborhoods of Lady Lake that suffered enormous damage in Friday morning’s tornadoes.
That center opened this morning, according to the Lake County Emergency Operations Center.
It’s the third such center within the affected areas of Central Florida. The centers are designed to serve as long-term needs clearinghouses, where residents who have lost a home or need other long-term assistance can look for help in rebuilding a life.
FEMA’s was largely absent in the hard hit areas of Lady Lake Sunday and Monday, despite the fact that a recovery center had opened several miles away in the massive, affluent Villages development.
