BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Federal Office of Emergency Management Agency officials have been in New Jersey helping residents after Tropical Storm Ida pummeled the region, but the hubs of that aid, county level disaster recovery centers, are slowing closing.

This week, four additional centers will close in New Jersey, and one is set to relocate.

The center at the Phillip Ciarco Jr. Learning Center, 355 Main St., in Hackensack, will close on Wednesday, as will the center at the Little Falls Civic Center in Passaic County.
