Florida’s Disaster Contractors Network Activated for Post-Hurricane Helene Home Repairs
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Florida homeowners may be facing the need for emergency home repairs. To assist with this, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has activated the Disaster Contractors Network (DCN), a free resource designed to connect homeowners with licensed contractors and suppliers in their area.
The DCN is a vital tool for Floridians, helping to ensure that only licensed professionals—those with proper education, insurance, and experience—are hired for crucial repairs. This network plays an important role in preventing unlicensed contractors from taking advantage of homeowners, especially during vulnerable times after a natural disaster.
Homeowners can visit DCNOnline.org to search for licensed contractors by county, once it is safe to assess the damage to their property. The platform is easy to use and serves as a safeguard against fraudulent services that might arise in the wake of the hurricane.
Licensed contractors and suppliers who haven’t yet registered with the DCN are encouraged to do so, ensuring they can provide their essential services to those in need.
The DCN has been a trusted resource for over 20 years, helping Florida rebuild after major storms like Hurricanes Ian, Michael, and Charley. As the state recovers from Hurricane Helene, utilizing this free service can make all the difference in securing a safe and effective recovery for your home.
