FEMA centers in Bay Area offering help in applying for assistance after Helene

Several FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers are open in the Tampa Bay area to help those impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Federal assistance can help residents and business owners cover expenses that are not covered by insurance – including temporary housing, repairs, moving and storage, food, water, diapers, medical and child care expenses, and more.

FEMA says it's important to document as much damage as possible by taking videos and photos before filing for assistance.
