Completing the Unmet Needs Form does not guarantee any type of assistance. Information will help us assess what services Alachua County may be eligible for or become eligible for. It will also allow us to assess what is still needed in our community. Those living outside of Alachua County should contact their local office of Emergency Management to report needs.

Residents of Alachua County who have sustained damage to their property or business should report this damage using the Damage Reporting Portal .

The form in this portal is for information purposes only and will be used when submitting county-wide damage assessments to the State of Florida and FEMA.

Please complete the form to report storm or disaster-related damage to your home or business. Please provide as much detail as possible and include photos, if available. Reporting damage to residences and businesses is crucial for the recovery process.
