From Kathy Broyard, Statewide Disaster Coordinator for FLAPDAN - Summer 2012
Tropical Storm Debby
Tropical Storm Debby brought much needed rain to Florida,
but
the unjust consequences are overwhelming. Eight people lost their
lives. 304 people were rescued. 32 counties have received a federal
disaster declaration. The American Red Cross sheltered 1186 people. The
Salvation Army and Red Cross provided over 130,480 meals and snacks. As
of a July 10th report, 73 homes were destroyed, 303 had major damage,
608 had minor damage, 1255 were affected and 2162 homes were still
inaccessible and could not be evaluated. Disaster Recovery Centers were
opened in 14 counties to assist these clients with temporary housing
assistance, filing claims, answering questions and providing crisis
counseling.
