- Pierson Town Center, 116 W. 1st Ave., Pierson
- Road & Bridge Office, 2560 W. State Road 44, DeLand
The Stone Island comfort station, 401 Stone Island Road, Enterprise, will continue to operate around the clock until further notice to ensure residents can access these services if needed.
Residents are reminded that FEMA has designated Volusia County a disaster area, making various forms of federal assistance available. Applications can be submitted online at www.disasterassistance.gov, through the FEMA mobile app, or by calling 800-621-3362.
