FEMA’s Disaster Recovery Center reopened on Monday, Nov. 14, though only people who sustained damage for Hurricane Ian are able to apply for assistance at this time, as FEMA has not declared Volusia County as a federal disaster zone resulting from Hurricane Nicole. The DRC will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Florida Department of Health-Volusia, located at 1845 Holsonback Drive in Daytona Beach.
