The state of Florida has embarked on one of the biggest cleanup operations in US history after Hurricane Jeanne, the fourth hurricane to hit the state in six weeks, killed at least six people and left more than one million without power.  Hurricane Charley made landfall on August 13, 2004; Hurricane Frances made landfall on September 5; Hurricane Ivan made landfall on September 15; and Hurricane Jeanne made landfall on September 25.

Through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program, NRCS is reviewing potential projects upon requests from sponsors.  NRCS prepares a damage survey report for eligible projects to document the damage.  For more information on NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection assistance for damages related to Hurricane Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, or other natural disasters.
