A Disaster Recovery Center has opened in Newberry County to provide in-person assistance to those affected by Hurricane Helene.
The DRC is located at the Newberry Armory, 275 General Henderson Road, Newberry and will be open today (Jan. 24), Jan. 27-29 from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and will be closed Jan. 25 and 26.
The quickest way to apply is to go online to DisasterAssistance.gov, using the FEMA App for mobile devices or by calling toll-free 800-621-3362. The telephone line is open every day and help is available in multiple languages. If you use a relay service, such as Video Relay Services (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service. Help can be provided to those using American Sign Language, voiceover and open captions.
The center will be open one day after the application deadline of Feb. 28. On that Wednesday, specialists can still assist, as they have been doing, with moving applications along in the system.

From the School District of Newberry County:

This morning, while transporting students to school, Bus M10 was involved in a rear-end collision. Out of an abundance of caution, twenty-one students and two employees on the bus were transported to Newberry County Memorial Hospital (NCMH) for evaluation. Thankfully, no serious injuries have been reported at this time.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the first responders and the medical team at NCMH for their swift and professional care. Their quick action ensured that everyone involved received immediate attention.

We understand that incidents like this can be concerning for families and our community. Please rest assured that the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. Our team is cooperating fully with authorities as they investigate the incident.
