What is the Florida Disaster Fund?
September 28 Casey DeSantis, First Lady of Florida, activated the Florida Disaster Fund to support communities impacted by Hurricane Ian. This is the official state private fund whose purpose is to provide financial assistance in partnership with public and private organizations and NGOs.
The Fund raised $6.5 million for disasters caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017. On that occasion, 65,000 volunteers volunteered to remove more than 14,000 trees and clean 500 houses.
