All eligible state, local, or tribal governments or certain private nonprofit organizations seeking reimbursements for damages incurred by Hurricane Irma under the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance Grant Program must submit their request to the Florida Division of Emergency Management by November 5.
Requests must be submitted to the Florida Public Assistance website. Once received, the Florida Division of Emergency Management will forward the requests to FEMA before FEMA's deadline of November 10.
According to FEMA: "The Public Assistance Program provides grants to state, tribal, territorial and local governments, and certain private nonprofit organizations to fund the repair, restoration, reconstruction or replacement of a facility or infrastructure that is damaged or destroyed by disaster. Nationally, the program is FEMA’s largest grant program, funding on average 51 percent of all FEMA grants and providing on average $4.7 billion per year."
More information on the Public Assistance program can be found on FEMA's website. Please contact Congressman Deutch's office with any questions.
