FEMA Disaster Recovery Center Open in Alachua County

The Hurricane Debby FEMA Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) is now open in Alachua County at the Millhopper Library (3145 NW 43rd St., Gainesville). The DRC operating hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on Sunday. The DRC will remain open until the FEMA application deadline closes on Oct. 9, 2024.

FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers are temporary offices set up after a disaster to provide support to impacted areas and communities. These offices may assist with the application process, answer questions about your application and help you submit information to FEMA.

At a Disaster Recovery Center, you can:

  • Learn about disaster assistance programs
  • Apply for disaster assistance
  • Check the status of your FEMA application
  • Get help understanding FEMA notices or letters
  • Get referrals to agencies that offer other assistance
  • Meet with a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) representative and apply for low-interest loans (for both individuals and businesses)


This is a great resource for those affected by Hurricane Debby.
