Floridians affected by hurricanes Milton and Helene have just two weeks left to apply for federal assistance, with the deadline set for Jan. 7, 2025.

Residents who have already applied for aid following Hurricane Helene and later discovered additional damage from Hurricane Milton must submit a separate application for Milton.

Applicants will need to specify the dates of the new damage.

Homeowners and renters can apply for assistance online at DisasterAssistance.gov, through the FEMA app, or by calling 800-621-3362.

FEMA’s assistance lines are open daily, and support is available in most languages.
