Art Snyder, Director of the Ulster County Emergency Communications/Emergency Management Department, has announced that the Disaster Recovery Center (DRC), which has been set up at the Town of Ulster Town Hall, will no longer have Sunday hours. In addition, those individuals seeking to file a FEMA claim for lost or damaged property must do so by June 18, 2005. "Governor Pataki declared Ulster County a disaster area on April 18^th and, by law, those victims have 60 days to file claims with FEMA. This does not mean claims will be settled by that date, but those people who fail to register by the 18^th will not be able to participate in the program," stated Director Snyder.

Any questions regarding this information should be directed to (845) 331-7000.
