The Federal Emergency Management Agency/state Disaster Recovery Center in Wayne County is among 14 centers that temporarily closed today because of "technical" issues.

There are 22 such sites across the state to assist survivors of Hurricane Matthew and the floods following.

The centers which are closing are located in the following counties: Beaufort, Bertie, Edgecombe (both locations), Columbus, Craven, Dare, Greene, Jones, Lenoir, Pasquotank, Pender, Pitt and Wayne.

The Greene County center will remain closed election day, Tuesday, Nov. 8.
