Free FEMA recovery workshop Thursday in Polk County

Anyone in Central Florida who needs information on obtaining Hurricane Irma recovery assistance from FEMA is invited to a free workshop on Thursday.

Orlando Democratic Congressman Darren Soto says it’s a “bi-partisan” workshop where FEMA representatives will go over benefits and help people with applications directly.

“If you want to sit down with a FEMA representative and have them walk you through the application process, this would be a good opportunity for you,” Soto says.

You can also apply for FEMA assistance at FEMA.gov.

All Central Florida counties were given the FEMA designation of individual assistance, so all constituents are eligible for potential FEMA relief.

The workshop is at Polk State College’s Advanced Technology Center at 310 Technology Drive in Bartow, Florida from 3 to 5 p.m.
