Name change?

Albany Park Corners is nice, but may be too broad of a name now. We're looking for ideas for a new name for this blog, possibly one that captures the new focus on the area in and around Eugene Field. Post your suggestions/half-baked ideas here.

Please note: we are sorry, but the names Track, Bristol and Tripp will not be considered.

FEMA Disaster Recovery Center Opens In Albany Park

The head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the state of Illinois. Homeowners, renters and business owners affected by the Albany Park floods of September 13-14, 2008 may be eligible to receive federal assistance.

To serve the needs of the affected residents, Alderman Laurino, State Representative John D'Amico, Congressman Rahm Emanuel, and the city's Office of Management and Communications worked with FEMA to open an office in the Albany Park community. The FEMA Disaster Recovery Center in Albany Park will provide face-to-face assistance to those who suffered damage.

The center will be located at:

Northeastern Illinois University
Physical Education Building
3600 W. Foster Ave.
Chicago, IL 60625

The center will open at noon, Tuesday, October 7. Starting Wednesday, October 8, the hours will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week, until further notice.
Residents should register with FEMA before visiting the center. There are two ways to register: log on to www.fema.gov or call FEMA's toll free number, 1-800-621-FEMA (3362), or TTY 1-800-462-7585. Both numbers are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, seven days a week, until further notice. Residents should register only once; duplicate registrations may cause delays in the delivery of assistance.
