Background Information
On the evening of September 29, 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall on the Southwest Florida coast causing profound property damage and debris in North Port. The City is beginning to prepare and submit reimbursement paperwork to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA will review all paperwork, then pass the paperwork and funds down to the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM). FDEM auditors will do another review of the paperwork before any reimbursements are released. This grant contract is the reimbursement funding agreement between FDEM and the City.
This grant covers reimbursement of:
• Most emergency protective measures
• Debris removal
• Damage to all facilities
• Damage to parks and recreation facilities
• Cost of temporary facilities
• Damage to most roads and utilities infrastructure
• Administrative costs
This is a reimbursable grant, meaning the City will spend first and then request reimbursement from the granting agency. The City Attorney has reviewed the contract for form and correctness.
Strategic Plan

Financial Impact
Reimbursements will be deposited into the Department’s fund where expenditures occurred. The total estimated reimbursement is currently in excess of $34 million.
