PASADENA, Texas – In response to damages sustained by Tuesday’s tornado event, the City of Pasadena Office of Emergency Management announced the opening of the Joint Disaster Assistance Recovery Center at the Pasadena Convention Center.
The partnership between the City of Pasadena and the City of Deer Park will assist residents in gathering important recovery resources and information, a news release said.
The recovery center, located at 7902 Fairmont Pkwy., will be open Friday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. – 6 p.m.
