News and Media: Disaster 4828

FEMA is seeking information from property management companies with ready-for-occupancy residential or rental properties in Florida communities affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

FEMA has opened a Disaster Recovery Center in Collier County to provide one-on-one help to Floridians affected by Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene. Survivors of Hurricane Debby can also be served by the center.

FEMA applicants in Special Flood Hazard Areas who receive disaster assistance because of flood caused damages are required to buy and keep flood insurance on their property.

FEMA Individual Assistance is available to renters, including students, as well as homeowners with uninsured losses from Hurricanes Milton or Helene.

As of Nov. 7, more than 55,000 flood loss claims have been reported to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) from Hurricane Helene. The program has paid approximately $830 million in claim payments to policyholders.
