Per the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) storm debris is to be taken care of by the commercial property owner. Debris removal from commercial properties is generally ineligible for funding through the Public Assistance Program. This is because commercial enterprises are expected to have insurance that covers debris removal.
Commercial Properties are to include:
- Offices
- Retail stores
- Restaurants
- Franchises
- Hotels
- Warehouses
- Commercial Housing Developments (Apartments/ Condos)
Please look over your insurance policies to see options on debris removal.
