Need help applying for FEMA aid? 6 sites are opening in Pinellas on Saturday.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is opening six sites in Pinellas County where residents can get help applying for assistance after Hurricane Helene.

The sites will open at 9 a.m. Saturday and will operate until 7 p.m. each day throughout the week, according to a news release from the Pinellas County government. Staff will be available to help residents navigate the application process at the following six locations:

• Gulfport Public Library, 5501 28th Ave S., Gulfport
• Enoch D. Davis Center, 1111 18th Ave S., St. Petersburg
• Palm Harbor Parks and Recreation, 1500 16th St., Palm Harbor
• City of Madeira Beach Recreation Center, 200 Rex Place, Madeira Beach
• City of South Pasadena, 7047 Sunset Drive S., South Pasadena
• Oldsmar Public Library, 400 St. Petersburg Drive E., Oldsmar

If you have insurance, be sure to file a claim first. FEMA can only provide money after you receive your settlement, and it can’t pay for losses your insurance will pay for.

Residents can register for FEMA assistance by visiting DisasterAssistance.gov, downloading the FEMA app or calling 1-800-621-3362.

Residents looking for updates on their application should visit the Disaster Recovery Center at the Largo Public Library, 120 Central Park Drive. For more information, visit disaster.pinellas.gov.
