The office will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.

FEMA representatives, local governments and social service groups will be there to help businesses and residents affected by Hurricane Ian. That includes:

  • Applying for FEMA assistance
  • Housing and utility information
  • FEMA application status updates and denying appeals
  • Guidance to available resources in the community
  • Resources from the Small Business Administration

Residents will be helped on a first-come, first-served basis and should arrive early if possible. This also comes as the city of Port Orange extended its state of emergency until 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 24.

On Monday, Volusia County reported it had tallied some $285 million in estimated damages from Ian so far, including damages to 5,411 homes.
