Gov. DeSantis announced the “Unite Florida Portal” on November 21st for state sheltering and housing assistance. People must be registered with FEMA for individual assistance at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/ (the deadline has been extended to Jan. 12). This portal is a new way to connect residents with additional resources. The portal is at https://ianrecovery.fl.gov/.
The state has launched a Hurricane Ian Debris Removal Program to help with property cleanup, be it a vessel or mobile home, or commercial or private property. The state has added resources to this landing page, including a fact sheet that clarifies how residents can use this site to connect with resources. View the new fact sheet here.
Michael Hernandez is a state PIO and Brian Kenworthy is a program project manager. They are working on a State of Florida debris removal project to help residents and businesses that need assistance in removing storm debris from their private properties.
Brian will be at City Hall on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8AM-12PM. Also, he will be available by appointment. If you have any debris or recovery questions, please contact Brian at bkenworthy@acdisaster.com
