FEMA’s Disaster Survivor Assistance Team hosting in-person events at Apopka City Hall

Posted

FEMA’s Disaster Survivor Assistance Team members are hosting in-person events at Apopka City Hall to assist with registration with FEMA. The DSA Team will be available from 9 AM to 5 PM on Tuesday, October 22nd through Friday, October 25th.

They aim to assess and report critical and emerging disaster needs to FEMA leadership for decision-making purposes.

DSA team members will meet with anyone who comes to City Hall on those days, pre-register them for disaster assistance, review applications, provide basic information about application status and other eligible assistance, and collect documents for case files.

Visit the Disaster Assistance page for additional information. 

“Having a FEMA site in Apopka has been incredibly impactful for our community, providing much-needed support to our residents who have been deeply affected by the recent storm," said Interim Apopka Fire Chief Wil Sanchez. "Today (Monday) alone, more than 75 individuals have received personalized assistance with their FEMA claims and have had their pressing questions answered. In the coming days, FEMA will open more sites to extend its help further."

From District 2 Orange County Commissioner Christine Moore:
