Hi my name is Casey Deshong and I am part of the FEMA team that was sent to American Samoa to help with the response to the earthquake and tsunami. We���re here today in Utulei at the grand opening of the disaster recovery center here at lee Auditorium. I���m going to take a few minute to walk you all through the disaster recovery center inside so you can see what happens when you , in a DRC so, follow me. So we���re in the Disaster recovery Center now and a disaster recovery center is essentially a one stop shop where disaster survivors or survivors who have been impacted by a disaster can come and speak to different organizations and governmental agencies that play a role in disaster assistance. For instance, there���s FEMA representatives here, Small Business Administration, social security, as well as American Red Cross and other volunteer agencies that are located at a Disaster Recovery Center. Follow me, we���re going to go over here for a moment. So when folks come to the Disaster Recovery Center, they���re going to be coming in through a side door and then they���re going to be led up on to the stage here, follow me, I���ll show you how that is, so folks are brought up here and they���re seated in this staging area where they���ll get a briefing on the different agencies and organizations that are here to help them.  One of the things that is unique to this disaster and to this specific disaster recovery center is that many of the Samoans do not speak English and so what we have done is work with the government of American Samoa is to hire local American Samoans to help with the translations and help us also with some of the cultural sensitivities.  So after they receive a briefing on the process of the Disaster Recovery Center, and the order of the different stations they���re going to visit, the individuals will come over here and they���ll look at their address on the map.  One of the things that is unique about this disaster, is that not everyone impacted by the disaster has a physical address, and so by having them come and plot where their property is located, that will help our inspectors to find out where they live so that we can go out and inspect their property.  After they do that, then they���re going to be led downstairs where they���ll meet with a FEMA individual assistance specialist who will help register them with FEMA and if you follow me, I���ll take you down there.  Here���s the individual assistance specialist I mentioned earlier, and after they receive their briefing then  they meet with a specialist who will assist them registering information with FEMA.  Some of the information that they���re asking are like what���s their name, where they live, social security, what type of damage they incurred as a result of the disaster,  and then after they get registered, then they can move on to other organizations that can assist them with disaster assistance such as social security, or the United States Department of Agriculture or the Small Business Administration. Before they leave, they���ll meet with someone at our exit desk, where they���ll do an exit interview. And the point of the exit interview is to make sure that they came here they got all their questions answered and if they didn���t get all their questions answered, they���ll get directed back to a desk or an individual who can help them with that. And then once the exit interview is completed, then they can go back to their village or their town.  And that is pretty much the tour f the Disaster Recovery Center. Thank you for watching.
