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

FEMA assistance can help people who are self-employed, including artists, musicians and mechanics. Independent contractors are considered self-employed.

As Floridians recover from hurricane damage, preservation specialists will be in three Disaster Recovery Centers this week to offer advice about salvaging damaged items such as photos, artwork, textiles and other items.
