Disaster Recovery Centers

Disaster Recovery Centers provide survivors with information from Florida state agencies, FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration. Survivors can get help applying for federal assistance and disaster loans, update applications and learn about other resources available.

Interpretation services and translated materials are available at the centers to help you communicate in the language with which you feel most comfortable. Locations are chosen for their accessibility, with the goal of reaching as many people as possible.

The centers are open every day.
