The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), in collaboration with participating counties and their municipalities, are accepting applications from private and commercial property owners who would like assistance for the removal of qualifying debris, vehicles, vessels and other title property. If requested, this program also provides support in identifying and reuniting vehicles, vessels and other title property lost or displaced due to Hurricane Ian to their rightful owners.

Private and commercial property owners will be asked to identify the following types of debris on their property:

Vegetative Debris: Trees, logs, trunks, branches, limbs, and other leafy material.

Construction and Demolition (C&D): Parts of building structures, carpeting, furniture, roofing, concrete, brick, block, wood, wallboard, metals, carpeting and flooring, insulation, glass, tile, window coverings, plastic pipe, heating and ventilating, and air conditioning systems and their components, light fixtures, furnishings, and fixtures.

White Goods, or discarded household appliances: Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, heat pumps, ovens, ranges, washing machines, clothes dryers, and water heaters.

Electronic Waste: Cell phones, computers, televisions, monitors, and other items with a cord.
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW): Pesticides, paints, batteries, oils, lawn chemicals, cleaning supplies, and other items that may be explosive, corrosive, or toxic.

Sediment or sand debris.
Please note that by submitting an application, a private or commercial property owner is not automatically approved for debris removal. Approval and qualifying debris will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

The State requires written consent from property owners to access their private property to perform debris removal. By submitting an ROE form, homeowners are opting into the State’s debris removal program and granting the State and the agents of the State’s permission to access and enter onto their property to perform these critical functions to protect public health and safety, and help homeowners begin their rebuilding process as quickly as possible.

The State’s debris removal program will be paid for by a combination of insurance proceeds, FEMA reimbursement, and local and state funds. The ROE Form includes a Duplication of Benefits section that explains that homeowners participating in the debris removal program are agreeing to provide their insurance information and cooperate with the State to ensure that all debris removal and mitigation-related insurance proceeds are paid toward the total cost of the State’s debris removal work.
