Frankel. “I’m deeply grateful to Palm Beach County’s first responders and local officials who’ve been working around the clock to keep Wellington’s residents safe and begin the cleanup and restoration process. I’m working closely with local leaders to ensure we get the federal help needed to support recovery and rebuilding efforts.” For those impacted by the storm, please visit the resources below for the latest updates on recovery efforts and available assistance: Apply for Disaster Assistance: Residents in designated counties can apply for FEMA assistance by visiting disasterassistance.gov, calling 1-800-621-3362, or through the FEMA app. Document damage: Take photos to submit to your insurance company and protect damaged property.
