OCT. 16 UPDATE: City and County Meet State Threshold to Request Presidential Disaster Declaration

The City of Pensacola and Escambia County now meet the State of Florida's threshold to request a presidential disaster declaration for FEMA Public Assistance and Individual Assistance following damage caused by Hurricane Isaias.

Both types of assistance require a presidential disaster declaration in order to move forward. The State damage assessment teams submitted Escambia County's damage assessments to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who passed them to the President's Office to request a presidential disaster declaration for Hurricane Isaias.

-------------

If we want FEMA to provide resources in the recovery effort following Hurricane Isaias, we have to prove that there is a need in our community.

Please fill out the Escambia County Citizen Damage Report at the following link: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/e02acb26329e4eb59a95e0be64bbfd48.

This is for damage to primary structures (fences, sheds and some other items are not applicable) and include photos and records of the damage.

⚠️Reporting your damage through this link is important so that we as a community can meet the FEMA designation for disaster aid.

Initial reports indicate that more than $71 million of damage to personal property has been reported in the City.

City staff are documenting the damage to public infrastructure and facilities to support the request for disaster assistance.

The Pensacola Police Department and our entire community suffered a devastating loss last evening with the tragic death of Detective Angela Nieto. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her two children as they face this unimaginable loss.

Detective Nieto dedicated her career to serving and protecting our community, and we are grateful for her commitment, professionalism, and service. While her family bears the deepest burden of this tragedy, her PPD family also is grieving.

On behalf of the City of Pensacola, we stand ready to support Detective Nieto's family and the men and women of the Pensacola Police Department during this difficult time. Our community will come together to honor her memory and support those who knew and loved her.

Pensacola Police Detective Angela Nieto, End of Watch October 14, 2026.
