Hurricane recovery centers to close in Volusia County
The business and disaster recovery centers launched to help Volusia County residents with hurricane recovery will permanently close on Friday evening, according to the county.
The disaster recovery center is at the Florida Department of Health-Volusia at 1845 Holsonback Drive in Daytona Beach, and the Business Recovery Center is at the Daytona Beach Regional Library at 105 Jackie Robinson Parkway in Daytona Beach. The disaster recovery center will close at 6 p.m., and the business recovery center will close at 5 p.m.
The centers helped thousands of storm-ravaged residents navigate red tape and gave people a chance to talk to Federal Emergency Management Agency and Small Business Administration officials in person.

"The recovery center opened in October and has been a vital asset for people to apply for assistance and speak to representatives from multiple agencies,” Volusia County Emergency Services Director Jim Judge said. “I also want to express my sincerest gratitude to FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration as they have been so helpful in getting our residents and businesses the assistance they need, as well as the Florida Department of Health for providing the venue.”
People will still be able to reach FEMA at 800-621-3362 and the SBA at 800-659-2955.
