The Federal Emergency Management Agency has opened federal disaster-recovery centers in all the effected counties, and hundreds of thousands of people have already lined up to get help for problems caused by Hurricane Wilma.

More than 161,000 people have applied for assistance in Broward County alone.

The agency also received approval to purchase 500 more travel trailers for hurricane-damaged Florida counties.
