FEMA has opened a third outlet in Hattiesburg for homeowners wanting to get information on rebuilding their homes after the Feb. 10 tornado. A Hazard Mitigation Outreach Team has set up shop at Economy Supply in downtown Hattiesburg.

Two other locations have already been opened at Home Depot and Lowe's in West Hattiesburg.

Egan said since the storm, FEMA has accepted 2,526 applications for assistance and said more than $2 million in aid for temporary housing and home repair has been approved.
She also said Saturday will be the last day that Disaster Recovery Centers in Wayne and Marion counties will be open. Three others in Hattiesburg and Petal will remain open for now.
