The Wrap

For those still reeling from Helene and Milton, I’m right there with you. St. Pete just announced two hurricane recovery info sessions — booked for today, Nov. 8, and Wednesday, Nov. 13 — to help residents get back on their feet.

The first session is virtual and will dig into the 49% rule — which dictates what options have for rebuilding. Next week’s meeting will take place at The Coliseum and delve into FEMA and other resources.
