hurricane recovery

U-Haul is offering Floridians 30 days of free storage services. The disaster relief program is meant to help residents prepare for Milton and support recovery efforts for Helene.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says the agency tasked with helping communities recover from Hurricane Helene needs Congress to provide additional funds.

The governor was in Horseshoe Beach Tuesday, where an entire marina was washed away and homes were destroyed.

The program is a collaboration between Hope Florida and the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

Craig Fugate says 1985's Hurricane Kate had some hard lessons for the Capital City.

The state has stopped accepting applications for the popular home-hardening program, less than a month after a new round of funding became available.

Rebuilding after extreme weather disasters can be a long and expensive process, as the impacts of climate change increasingly threaten coastal communities.

Utility leaders say they are responding to a trend of stronger and more unpredictable hurricanes as the 2024 outlook calls for what may be the busiest hurricane season ever.

In June, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation reported Hurricane Ian resulted in more than 700,000 insurance claims statewide. Nearly 200,000 of them were closed without payment.

The low population and low property values in the Big Bend area compared to the rest of the state means local governments have less financial resources to respond. The eventual insured loss is estimated at $3-$5 billion.
