I’m here with FEMA to provide disaster assistance for the recovery from Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole. FEMA will be partnering with Anastasia Baptist Church in St. Augustine to host a Deaf/Hard of Hearing community event on Saturday, January 7th, from 12-5PM. We will have several different FEMA programs available to help survivors register, give more information about what disaster assistance may be available, and to provide updates on the progress of your application if you’ve already registered. Anastasia Baptist Church is located at 1650 A1A South in St. Augustine. Again, the event will be Saturday, January 7th, from 12-5PM. We hope to see you there!
