FEMA Individual Assistance helps disaster survivors begin recovery by providing grants for basic, critical needs. FEMA assistance is not a substitute for insurance, nor can it duplicate other sources of assistance.

If you live in Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Sarasota, Suwannee or Taylor counties and were impacted by Hurricane Idalia, you may be eligible for FEMA assistance to repair or replace a vehicle.

If a boat was your primary residence before and during Hurricane Idalia making landfall in Florida – and the boat sustained hurricane damage - FEMA may be able to help. Survivors living in one of the counties designated for federal assistance are encouraged to apply.

If you live in Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Sarasota, Suwannee or Taylor counties and had a privately-owned road or bridge damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Idalia, FEMA or the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) may provide financial assistance for replacement or repairs.

Residents of Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Sarasota, Suwannee and Taylor counties who lost access to water because of a damaged private well or septic system as a result of Hurricane Idalia may be eligible for FEMA assistance.
