Clean and Sanitize Assistance

If your home was damaged but you can live in it safely after Hurricane Milton, FEMA may be able to provide up to $300 in one-time financial assistance to help with cleanup. This assistance is for eligible homeowners and renters.

You may qualify for FEMA assistance if you meet the following criteria:

• Your pre-disaster primary residence is located in a county designated for Individual Assistance.
• FEMA verified you have disaster damage however your primary residence is safe to occupy.
• If you have already cleaned up, save your receipts from any supplies, materials or paid help.
• The damage is not covered by your insurance.

How to Apply

Homeowners and renters are encouraged to apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by using the FEMA App. You may also apply by phone at 800-621-3362. If you choose to apply by phone, please understand wait times may be longer because of increased volume for multiple recent disasters.Lines are open every day and help is available in most languages. If you use a relay service, captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service. For an accessible video on how to apply for assistance go to FEMA Accessible: Applying for Individual Assistance - YouTube.

If you applied to FEMA after Hurricanes Debby and Helene and have additional damage from Hurricane Milton, you will need to apply separately for Milton and provide the dates of your most recent damage.
