Hurricane Sally Florida Recovery Resources & Information Portal
After the immediate response to a disaster, the focus of disaster operations shifts to recovery. FEMA Interagency Recovery Coordination (IRC) helps communities plan long-term recovery and provides resources to help them build capacity.
Recovery after a disaster presents complex challenges that require coordination among federal, state, local, private and non-governmental partners. IRC helps communities develop strategies to recover from the economic, social and other impacts of Hurricane Sally.
IRC has developed the Hurricane Sally IRC Recovery Resources & Information Portal for important updates and guidance, grant opportunities, fast-track webinars, resources, links and much more. To access the portal, sign in as a guest here: https://fema.connectsolutions.com/dr4564sally/.

I have been waiting for my appeal process since October 20, 2020 each customer service person gives you a different story, the supervisors dont call back, wayyyyyy to long to suffer
I lived in Holmes county n lost my place i was renting , despite being high off the ground water still came in the house n one! day i lost everything ! N no help its like it never happend was very devistaing !
Ive been waitingsince October to. Ive sent every document they’ve asked me to send them. And all I do is sit and wait every time I call that like it’s a problem and tell me it’s pending. How much longer are you going to make us great I can’t even stay in my home I’m on SSI can afford to not stay in my home
Application asked if we had a power surge. We Did and it destroyed our stove. That was only claim. Called FEMA and was told denied since we had a roof over our head. Went to local location twice. No one there. Later received email asking if we needed inspection. Gave up.
I being waiting for assistant since October 3,2020 they turn me down I filed an appeal they telling me appeals could take 90 days it being like 78 days already I haven’t heard anything at all just a slow moving process
I have been waiting for assistance for months. I had to appeal sally. I’m not even going to waste my time appealing zeta. My children and I have had to move out of our home which they are aware of. None of the agents are helpful and they all say it’s going to take 90 days. I’ve been uploading every document they have asked me for since the month of October. I live in a county that has not been mentioned and people STILL need help !
Why Is it taking so long for appeal assistance from Sally and Zeta we just haven’t heard anything have Fema forgotten about all of the other surrounding counties seems escambia residents have been assisted. People including myself still assistance and we would like to know whats the hold up when you call the helpline they can’t give you a date
