Mexico Beach

Southwest Florida has already answered the immediate question after Hurricane Ian slammed into the coast, killing dozens of people and destroying thousands of homes with record-high storm surge: Will we rebuild?

Mayor Greg Brudnicki and other leaders from a rebuilt Panama City traveled to the southwestern coast this week to help officials plan a way forward. Brudnicki says officials have to concentrate on removing debris because nothing else can happen until that's done.

Three years after Hurricane Michael devastated Panama City, signs of recovery are evident. Both residents and Panama City mayor Greg Brudnicki are praising the improvements.

The small town is still awaiting about half of the FEMA reimbursements they expect to receive for recovery efforts.
