HURRICANE IAN INFORMATION


FISH continues to provide long-term recovery assistance to our community. Initially, we provided basic needs for our neighbors, including food, ice and water, charging stations and comfort stations. Now, and for the foreseeable future, we are working toward reducing the burden and hardship caused by Hurricane Ian by ensuring the support our community needs in this time of crisis is available. Our team has coordinated resources with local and state organizations, and we are continuing to provide assistance with emergency supply distribution, financial assistance, case management, and distribution of rebuild supplies. Working closely with many local, regional and statewide organizations, we are answering requests for help. Please check with our website for most up to date service availability from FISH and our partners, or call us at 239-472-4775 or our 24-Line 239-472-0404.
