U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) announced his staff will host a comprehensive recovery assistance center in Immokalee today. Rubio’s staff will be available to help residents affected by Hurricane Irma sign up for assistance from FEMA. Application checklists are available in English and Spanish.

I would also like to thank all of the organizations, companies, and government agencies who are participating in this effort for their willingness and assistance during this difficult time.
