HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
Whether your house is destroyed, you need help locating a job, or you need to know where to get supplies, Hillsborough County's one-stop post disaster center is designed to serve people in the chaotic days after a major hurricane.
After the success of its Disaster Recovery Center last year, the county is planning to open it this year to serve Hillsborough residents or those relocating from hard-hit areas. Appointments will not be necessary.
The Disaster Recovery Center is at 10119 Windhorst Road in the Brandon area.
About two dozen providers will be housed in the center, equipped with computer and phone outlets.
