For local residents in need, Family Promise of the Coastal Empire (FPCE) is currently launching long-term recovery efforts in Bryan County, offering resources to households still struggling after the devastation of Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricane Helene.
Family Promise of the Coastal Empire is working alongside the Coastal Empire Disaster Recovery Committee (CEDRC) to launch Disaster Recovery Outreach and Casework Services. “Family Promise of the Coastal Empire is honored to begin Long- Term Recovery Case Management in Bryan County, providing critical support to households still struggling to rebuild after disaster strikes,” said Katrina Bostick, Executive Director.
Tropical Storm Debby caused severe flooding in Bryan County, with the Ogeechee River rising to near-record levels and inundating neighborhoods. Months later, the damage has left many families still in need of recovery support.
To better serve the community, FPCE will operate out of two office locations:
- Richmond Hill at the Church on the Hill (Monday through Friday)
- Pembroke at City Hall (Monday and Wednesday)
With the FEMA application deadline rapidly approaching on February 7, 2025, Family Promise will prioritize applications to ensure all impacted households receive the assistance they need to meet this deadline.
