TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)--The Federal Emergency Management Agency is meeting one-on-one with people impacted by Hurricane Hermine .
"Right now we are waiting to see if we can possibly be reimbursed through FEMA for our property, our home, and everything else we have lost," said Leon County resident Pamela Purvis.
Purvis is checking up on the help that may be available to her at the one-stop shop set up at the Leroy Collins Library after her property was hit hard by Hermine.
She says she's already received rental assistance.
The disaster recovery center is operated by FEMA, but volunteer agencies and the Small Business Administration are there.
The center is open six days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closed on Sundays.
You may be eligible for rental assistance, rental repairs, child care, and storage assistance. FEMA says you must register first.
Purvis encourages those affected by the storm to do just that.
"Highway 20 was hit very hard," said Purvis. "Quite a few people in the neighborhood lost their homes due to tree damage."
"People can come by," said Ruben Brown, a FEMA media relations specialist. "They can come by and meet with one of our representatives here. They can come check on the status of one of their cases. If they haven't registered, this is an opportunity for them to do so. If there is a need FEMA can't meet, then there are other organizations here that might be able to meet those needs."
