Sen. Rick Scott Shares Message on the Anniversary of Hurricane Ian

Dear Fellow Floridian,

Today marks one year since Hurricane Ian made its catastrophic landfall in Southwest Florida and brought destruction to so many Florida communities. Families and businesses faced unbelievable devastation, but hope was found in the volunteers and community partners committed to helping their neighbors get back on their feet.

Recovery doesn’t fall just on Floridians – it’s an all hands on deck operation that requires the federal government to show up today, tomorrow and every day until the job is done. That’s why I have introduced the Federal Disaster Responsibility Act, that combines the Disaster Relief Fund Replenishment Act, Hurricane Tax Relief Act, Block Grant Assistance Act, and other essential provisions, to make sure that the immediate needs for FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund are fully funded and Florida’s military bases, families and growers impacted by disasters have the federal support they need and deserve.

I won’t stop fighting to get these bills passed and secure the disaster aid that Florida families need and deserve. Florida is resilient and with the help of neighbors, community partners and local, state and federal resources, we will continue to rebuild and recover stronger than ever.

Sincerely,

Rick Scott

United States Senator
