      FEMA Assistance and Debris Removal Updates for Gulfport Residents

      The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is providing direct assistance to residents impacted by Hurricane Helene. Assistance will be available daily, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, at the Gulfport Public Library through Tuesday, October 22, including Sunday.

      The City of Gulfport is actively working on debris removal. We ask for your patience, as it may take several months to complete the process. Our focus is on clearing construction materials first, followed by vegetative debris. Multiple passes will be required. Please place your debris near the roadside, away from power lines and other obstacles. Separate vegetative material, construction materials, garbage bags, appliances, and paint for easier collection. Regular sanitation and recycling routes have resumed their normal schedules.

      For more information about flooding and FEMA’s guidelines on substantially improved or substantially damaged buildings, visit the City of Gulfport website at https://mygulfport.us/ under the “Quick Links” section. You can also view FEMA’s guide on this topic at FEMA Guide on Substantially Improved/Substantially Damaged Buildings.

      At this stage, Gulfport is in the “Muck, Dry, and Wait” phase of recovery. While conditions may worsen before they improve, we will rebuild safer and stronger. For more information on what to do after storm damage, visit Pinellas County Storm Damage Guide.

      The City encourages residents to stay informed through official channels as recovery efforts progress. Please visit https://mygulfport.us/ for updates and further information.

      Stay safe, Gulfport!
