FEMA Disaster Survival Assistance Teams canvassing Nassau County on Friday

Jacksonville, FL — Their goal is to make sure everyone has equal access to assistance and a complete understanding of the assistance process in the wake of disasters.

Nassau County Emergency Management says FEMA's Disaster Survival Assistance Teams (DSAT) will be arriving Friday, September 22.

We're told these teams will be going door-to-door canvassing areas affected by Hurricane Irma.

DSAT provides information directly to survivors and circulates information on how to register with FEMA for disaster aid, the location and operation hours of Disaster Recovery Centers, mitigation options, and more.

With recent reports of people impersonating FEMA representatives in the area, Nassau County has released photos of varying FEMA identification.

They also encourage you to call the Nassau County Sheriff's Office non-emergency line at (904) 225-5174, if you're unsure whether or not someone is a legitimate member of FEMA.
