The deadline for Floridians to apply for FEMA assistance after Hurricanes Milton and Helene is Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025.
Homeowners and renters with losses from the storms may be eligible for FEMA financial assistance for displacement, basic home repairs, personal property losses and other uninsured or underinsured disaster-caused expenses.
There are three ways to apply:
· Online at DisasterAssistance.gov
· Using the FEMA App
· By phone at (800) 621-3362. Lines are open every day and help is available in most languages. (If you use a relay service, captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.)
If you have damage from both storms, you will need to apply separately for both disasters and provide the dates of your damage for each.
