The application deadline has arrived for those affected by the 2024 hurricane season to apply for assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Applicants who sustained any losses caused by hurricanes Milton and Helene will have until Tuesday evening to apply for assistance through FEMA. The qualifications for assistance can range from home repairs, temporary housing, property damage, childcare, or business losses. WINK News reporter Esly Davis spoke with FEMA Media Representative Troy York, who said, “Money assistance to make repairs to their home to make it livable again, replacement of things like tools, for example, that one needs to proceed in whatever business they may be in, could get some help if they need some legal services.” York said assistance is available for anyone who needs it, but time is running out for those impacted by Milton and Helene. “Anybody that suffered loss during one of the weather incidents can apply to FEMA, whether they be a homeowner or a renter,” said York. Two Southwest Florida FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers will be available for residents from 7 a.m. to the 7 p.m. deadline. The Charlotte County location is the Tringail Community Center on North Access Road in Englewood. The Lee County location is at the Museum of Medical History on College Parkway in Fort Myers. Those who cannot make it to the physical locations are allowed three separate options provided by FEMA. 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. Click here for an accessible YouTube video on how to apply for assistance.
