COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. -- People in Southwest Florida who are still recovering from Hurricane Irma will have several chances to get help this week, beginning Wednesday in Naples.
An Irma recovery Assistance Center will open Wednesday on Davis Boulevard at New Hope Ministries from 8am to 6pm. It’s a place where you can come if you're still looking to recuperate after Hurricane Irma, especially if you have insurance questions.
Senator Marco Rubio and Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis will both be there to host insurance villages and comprehensive disaster recovery.
Insurance experts will be there to answer Floridians’ insurance-related questions and concerns. Several insurance companies with policies in the impacted areas will be there to help you with post-storm claims.
Make sure to bring copies of all insurance policies with you if you do decide to come.
For those who can't make it to Naples Wednesday, there will be a recovery center open in Lehigh Acres on Thursday at the Lee County Veterans Park Rec Center, and then in Immokalee on Friday at RCMA Immokalee Community School.
