News and Media: Disaster 4673

More than $1.2 billion has gone to National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policyholders to help their Hurricane Ian recovery, with over 46,000 policyholders having filed claims following the storm’s landfall.

More than $3.69 billion in federal grants, disaster loans and flood insurance payments have been provided to the state of Florida and to households after Hurricane Ian to help survivors jumpstart their recovery.

If a boat was your primary residence before and during Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida – and the boat sustained hurricane damage - FEMA may be able to help. Survivors living in one of the 26 counties designated for federal assistance are encouraged to apply.

Volusia County is now approved for FEMA Direct Temporary Housing Assistance for Hurricane Ian survivors.

FEMA announced over $169 million in additional assistance has been provided to survivors because of a policy update which expanded home repair assistance to specifically address applicants with remediating disaster-caused mold growth. Because of the policy update, more than 111,000 additional applicants have been able to get assistance.
