Orlando, Fla. — Today, Senator Bill Nelson joined Reps. Darren Soto and Val Demings at a disaster assistance workshop to help residents affected by Hurricane Irma.
The workshop gave residents more information and resources on the assistance offered to them through FEMA and other organizations.
State representatives say now is the time for residents to utilize resources like FEMA and get funds for damages and repairs. FEMA officials said even residents who experienced flooding and don’t have flood insurance may be eligible for repairs if they register with FEMA by the application deadline.
The deadline to apply for FEMA assistance is November 9, 2017.
