Residents needing assistance with damage from Hurricane Ian may call the Home Cleanup Hotline at 800-451-1954 to be connected with volunteers from local relief organizations, community groups and faith communities. These groups may be able to assist with cutting fallen trees; removing drywall, flooring and appliances; tarping roofs; and mold mitigation. This service is free, but not guaranteed due to overwhelming need. In addition, this hotline cannot assist with social services such as food, clothing, shelter, insurance or questions about FEMA registration. This hotline will remain open through Friday, Oct. 28.
Many people want to donate their time and assist those who were affected by Hurricane Ian. For more information on volunteer opportunities, visit www.volunteerflorida.org.
