DeSantis visits Pasco County after Helene
Governor DeSantis provided an update on Hurricane Helene’s impact in Pasco County.
HUDSON, Fla. - Governor Ron DeSantis toured Pasco County and talked with residents whose homes were damaged during Hurricane Helene on Sunday morning.
DeSantis said that power is expected to be restored by Sunday night.
"Now, you may not be able to receive power and you may have damage to your own system apart from what the overall system is doing. And that's just going to require people to look at that," he explained.
FEMA assistance is now available for Pasco County residents affected by Helene. On Sunday, two comfort stations on the west side of the county were opened to provide essentials to Hurricane Helene victims.
The following stations are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. until further notice:
- Hudson Library | 8012 Library Rd, Hudson
- Ben Harrill Recreation Complex | 2830 Gulf Trace Blvd, Holiday
The City of New Port Richey is also opening a comfort station beginning Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. until further notice:
- New Port Richey Recreation & Aquatic Center | 6630 Van Buren St., New Port Richey
