Hurricane Ian FEMA Disaster Relief Office To Close Friday

RIVERVIEW, FL — The Federal Emergency Management Administration's Disaster Recovery Center, which offers federal assistance for Hurricane Ian survivors, will close on Friday, Feb. 17.

The center opened an office in October at Hillsborough Community College at The Regent, 6437 Watson Road, Riverview, to help all Florida residents with federal assistance after Hurricane Ian, which struck the state in September.

The Disaster Recovery Center supported Florida residents impacted by Hurricane Ian by helping them with federal assistance, disaster loans and updating applications, and by introducing resources that are available.

Florida residents and applicable nonprofits impacted by Hurricane Ian are encouraged to visit the Disaster Recovery Center at Hillsborough County Community College at the Regent before it closes at 5 p.m. Friday.

Staff at the DRC can assist with submitting a late application, supporting documents, appealing a denial letter, appealing a case closed letter or appealing for additional funds. You do not have to be a Hillsborough County resident to visit the DRC or to receive assistance.

For more information, visit FloridaDisaster.org/info or call 800-621-3362. Assistance by phone is available daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and help is available in most languages.
