JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Northeast Florida residents who were affected by Hurricane Ian in September still have a chance to receive help from a FEMA-funded program.

Disaster Case Management (DCM) which is managed by Volunteer Florida, provides case managers to “work directly with disaster survivors to identify their recovery unmet needs, develop a goal-oriented recovery plan, and match them with resources to help them achieve their long-term recovery,” according to a release from FEMA.
