MOBILE DAC SET TO VISIT GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER

One of the nine federal/state mobile Disaster Application Centers
(DACs) in the field today, Feb. 5, is located at the Gay and
Lesbian Community Service Center, 1625 N. Hudson Ave., Los
Angeles.  Service started at 9 a.m. and will continue until 7
p.m. tonight.

The mobile DAC operation enables the application process to be
more accessible to communities and populations which suffered
damage and losses from the Northridge earthquake and which cannot
easily get to one of the permanent DAC facilities.

Mobile DACs differ from fixed site DACs in that the staff is
smaller and generally not all agencies are represented. The
personnel and equipment can be quickly relocated from site to
site. 
     
Reporters/crews visiting the center should contact public
information officer Angel Santiago at the site.
