VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it may reimburse eligible Volusia County residents whose private wells or septic systems were damaged by Hurricane Milton residents for costs they incurred based on an estimate from a licensed technician, that lists necessary repairs or replacements for systems damaged by disasters.
FEMA may also cover the cost of repairing or replacing wells or septic systems, which are often not covered by standard homeowners insurance policies.
Homeowners who have already applied for FEMA assistance but have not included damage to their well or septic systems are asked to call the FEMA hotline at 800-621-3362 for information on modifying their applications.
Residents can apply for FEMA assistance online at www.disasterassistance.gov, through the FEMA mobile app, or by calling the FEMA Helpline.
FEMA disaster survivor assistance teams will be available at three locations in Volusia County on Tuesday, November 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. They can help hurricane-affected residents navigate FEMA's services to ensure they understand and can access the full range of disaster relief programs available. Residents can meet with DSA staff to discuss their specific needs, learn about assistance programs, apply in person, and check the status of existing applications.
FEMA teams provide detailed information on areas such as temporary housing, emergency care and property damage claims at the following locations:
- American Legion Post 120, 461 Walker St., Holly Hill
- American Legion Adam Quinn Post 6, 1087 Biscayne Blvd., DeLand
- Sunnyland Recreational Center, 825 Washington St., Daytona Beach
