Hurricane Milton was a devastating storm that impacted a large area of Florida, including my District (D-93), it brought extreme winds, life-threatening storm surge, and significant flooding. In the wake of this disaster, we stand united as a community—bound by compassion, care, and an unwavering commitment to helping one another rebuild. Together, we will overcome these challenges, ensuring that no one faces the recovery process alone.
Below are key resources from FEMA and USDA to help individuals, farmers, and organizations navigate disaster assistance, debris removal, reunification with loved ones, and more. Whether you're seeking financial aid, volunteering, or dealing with debris, these resources provide comprehensive guidance for the recovery process.
The current version of FEMA’s Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide (PAPPG) v4 states that private property debris removal (PPDR) requires pre-approval before the work starts. However, FEMA issued interim guidance no longer requiring pre-approval of PPDR and that change will be reflected in PAPPG v5 which we concluded our public comment period.
Please find attached FEMA’s latest Fact Sheet on PPDR that outlines the conditions for reimbursement of PPDR. I would call your attention to the following items as conditions of reimbursement:
Farm Service Agency Call Center (information on USDA programs): 877-508-8364
Farmer Mental Health – Southern Ag Exchange Network Farmer Support Hotline: 888-381-7243
