Thank you to Governor Ron DeSantis for visiting Escambia County today to provide Hurricane Isaias recovery effort updates, including the announcement of temporary sheltering and first responder assistance for Hurricane Isaias survivors. Gov. DeSantis held a press conference at the Salvation Army Multi-Agency Resource Center on Q Street, joined by local elected officials including District 4 Commissioner Ashlee Hofberger, Rep. Michelle Salzman, Escambia County Sheriff Chip W. Simmons, and Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson.

Through a partnership between Emergency RV and the Florida Division of Emergency Management, temporary shelter trailers are being provided to eligible residents displaced by significant damage from Hurricane Isaias. The Governor also announced one-time $5,000 grants for eight first responders in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties who were personally affected by the storm while continuing to serve their communities.

FEMA update: Florida has requested a Major Disaster Declaration that includes Public Assistance for 15 counties and Individual Assistance for eligible residents in eight counties. Escambia County is included in the request for both Public and Individual Assistance. The state is awaiting a federal decision. If approved, the declaration would make additional federal recovery assistance available to eligible communities and residents.
