Sen. Mel Martinez announced on Tuesday that one week remains to register for state-federal disaster assistance for any Florida resident who had property damage or other losses as a result of Tropical Storm Fay.

Nov. 10 is the deadline for residents in 27 designated counties in Florida.

“The destruction Tropical Storm Fay caused continues to affect many Florida residents and I urge all eligible individuals to apply before the deadline,” Martinez said.

Available assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration for renters, homeowners and businesses of all sizes to cover uncompensated property losses, and other programs that help meet eligible disaster-related needs.

Residents in the following counties are eligible for disaster assistance: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Brevard, Clay, Collier, Duval, Gadsden, Glades, Hendry, Jefferson, Lake, Lee, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Marion, Martin, Nassau, Okeechobee, Orange, Polk, Seminole, St. Lucie, Taylor, Volusia and Wakulla counties.

For information or to register for disaster assistance, residents should visit www.fema.gov or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-FEMA or the TTY line for the deaf, hard of hearing and speech impaired at 800-462-7585.
