Hurricane Idalia

Hurricane Idalia had its origins from an area of disturbed weather that began over the eastern Pacific and central America around August 23rd. Through the next two to three days the area of disturbed weather would slowly drift northeast into the northwestern Caribbean Sea while slowly organizing. On August 26th around 5 pm EDT, a tropical depression formed as the National Hurricane Center determined a closed circulation had developed. From Saturday August 26th through early Monday morning of the 28th, Idalia would slowly meander through the northwestern Caribbean Sea, and it became a tropical storm on Sunday morning around 11 am EDT. By early Monday morning, Idalia began its northward turn and after crossing the western tip of Cuba Monday night, Idalia would rapidly intensify from a tropical storm into a major hurricane on Tuesday ahead of an eventual landfall near Keaton Beach, FL just before 8am EDT Wednesday, August 30th as a Category 3 Hurricane with 125 mph sustained winds and devasting storm surge of 7 to 12 feet.

HELPING Floridians REBUILD THEIR HOMES & THEIR LIVES

Our Disaster Relief and Recovery (DRR) services connect emergency or disaster victims to services and funding they may not be aware of, helping them recover after an emergency or disaster situation. From safety shelters and evacuation efforts to home repairs, new furniture, and clothing, Endeavors works ceaselessly to help in any way we can.

Services Provided by the Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP): The DCMP offers survivors a centralized point of contact to assist in defining and implementing a recovery plan. While direct financial assistance and services are not provided by the program, your Disaster Case Manager will connect you with local resources to guide you through the recovery process. This includes creating a recovery plan, outlining necessary steps, assisting with FEMA, SBA, or insurance applications and appeals, coordinating with local resources, and advocating on behalf of applicants for assistance.
