Harrisburg, PA – At the request of officials in Susquehanna County, the Shapiro Administration will support a Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) to assist dozens of individuals and families that sustained losses from severe storms and damaging winds on July 3.
This storm caused significant damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure across Susquehanna County. Having a multitude of resources and services available in one location for the community makes it a little easier for everyone to navigate the recovery process.
— Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) Director Randy Padfield
The MARC will be open Monday, July 14 from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the Lanesboro Community Center, 418 Main St., Susquehanna, PA 18847.
Multiple Susquehanna County agencies and offices, the American Red Cross, and other volunteer and community organizations will be available to provide local services. Pennsylvania state agencies scheduled to participate or provide information include:
- PA Department of Aging
- PA Department of Health
- PA Department of Human Services
- PA Insurance Department
- PA Emergency Management Agency
Some of the resources provided by organizations supporting the MARC include information on replacing vital documents such as birth certificates, checking insurance coverage for damages, trauma/crisis response and mental health resources, benefits and disabilities support, and other recovery information and resources available.
Homeowners, renters, private non-profits, and businesses with damages from the July 3 severe weather are encouraged to report damages to their local emergency management agency as soon as possible.
