Volusia County Storm and Claim History
- Hurricane Nicole struck Volusia County on November 9-10, 2022, and the county's damage assessment put total damage at more than $522 million, up from an original estimate of $481 million, with at least $50 million in Daytona Beach itself. In Daytona Beach Shores, the property appraiser reported more than $363 million in damage and 93 structures damaged, and more than 20 high-rise hotels and condos were evacuated over structural safety concerns.
- As Nicole's surf and erosion hit the coast on November 10, 2022, seven homes collapsed in Wilbur-by-the-Sea, just south of Daytona Beach, and Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said of the oceanside peninsula, "It is like a bomb has gone off on the peninsula up here on the oceanside." The National Hurricane Center reported that Nicole made landfall near Vero Beach as a Category 1 hurricane with beach erosion damaging beachfront structures in Wilbur-by-the-Sea.
- Volusia and Flagler counties, which include Daytona Beach and Palm Coast, were both designated for Individual Assistance and Public Assistance in the federal major disaster declaration for Hurricane Nicole (FEMA DR-4680, declared December 13, 2022).
- Hurricane Ian brought a wind gust of 76 mph to Daytona Beach International Airport and 15.42 inches of rain near New Smyrna Beach in September 2022, according to the NOAA Weather Prediction Center.
- Six weeks later, Hurricane Nicole produced a gust of 61 knots (about 70 mph) at Daytona Beach’s airport in November 2022, according to the National Hurricane Center.
- Average homeowners insurance premium in Volusia County: $2,808 a year with wind coverage, $1,637 without; condominium unit owners $1,170 with wind, averaged across all insurers, insured values and deductibles (Florida OIR, Property Insurance Stability Report, July 1, 2026; data as of March 31, 2026).

Daytona Beach Public Adjuster FAQs
Daytona Beach property owners often have questions about when to involve a public adjuster, what happens after damage is discovered, and how representation fits into an insurance claim. Here are answers to common questions. Contact us for a free claim review.
Does Homeland handle beach erosion and hurricane claims in Daytona Beach?▶
Yes. Daytona Beach took Ian and Nicole within six weeks in 2022, with high winds, heavy rain and erosion that damaged beachfront structures. Homeland documents what the policy covers, from wind and water damage to the structure, and handles the claim; call our local line 24/7 at (386) 388-3777.
Does Homeland handle hurricane and storm claims in Daytona Beach?▶
Yes. Hurricane, wind and storm claims are among the losses Homeland handles. Volusia County is within Florida’s hurricane-prone coastal region, and we help Daytona Beach property owners document damage from hurricanes, tropical storms, storm surge and heavy rain.
Does Homeland serve Deltona, DeLand, Port Orange, and Ormond Beach too?▶
Yes. Homeland represents property owners throughout Volusia County, not just Daytona Beach itself, including Deltona, DeLand, Port Orange, and Ormond Beach, as well as Palm Coast and other nearby Flagler County communities.
I need a really good public adjuster in Daytona Beach. How do I pick one?▶
Judge every firm the same way: an active license you can look up on the Florida DFS licensee search, a named adjuster on your file, the fee in writing before you sign, and real results and reviews. Homeland: named licensed adjusters, firm license W818638, serving Florida property owners since 2006, English and Spanish, and a licensed adjuster at your property in Daytona Beach.
Who will personally handle my claim?▶
A licensed Homeland public adjuster, named to you on the first call. Our team: Yeni Martinez, President (Florida public adjuster license P103370), Alberto Enriquez (P112658), Yisel Dieguez (W873884) and Nelson Avila (Florida public adjuster license G332385 · Florida Certified Contractor CRC1331322 · property insurance appraiser and umpire). Each license is linked under Verify Homeland.
How much do you charge?▶
Florida law caps what any public adjuster can charge (Florida fee limits). Homeland explains its fee in your written agreement before you sign, so you know it up front. No recovery, no fee. And after you sign, you can still cancel within the period Florida law gives you (your cancellation rights).
Can you get my insurance to pay more?▶
We document every dollar your policy owes and negotiate for the full amount. What we do: inspect and document all the damage, write a line-item estimate, compare it with the insurer’s, and negotiate the claim for you, start to finish. See our published results.
Can someone come out to my place in Daytona Beach and look at the damage?▶
Yes. A licensed Homeland public adjuster comes to your property in Daytona Beach, and anywhere in Volusia County. Our office is in Miami Lakes (visits by appointment), but you don’t need to go there. Call (386) 388-3777, 24/7, in English or Spanish.
The insurer already offered money (or paid nothing). Can you still help?▶
A licensed public adjuster can still help, and underpaid, denied and closed claims are a big part of what we do. We review the insurer’s letter and estimate, inspect the damage and can reopen or supplement the claim within Florida’s deadlines. Read Claim denied? What to do next.
Water got into my house. Who can help?▶
If you safely can, stop the water and take photos and video before you clean up. Then call a licensed public adjuster. Homeland handles water damage claims in Daytona Beach: burst pipes, AC leaks, roof leaks and flooding. We document the damage, check which policy applies and handle the claim for you. Call (386) 388-3777, 24/7.
My roof (or my AC) is leaking. Is that a claim?▶
It depends on the cause and on your policy, so don’t guess and don’t throw out damaged materials yet. Take photos and video, keep receipts for emergency repairs, and have a licensed public adjuster look at it. Homeland inspects the damage, reads your policy with you and tells you plainly whether it’s worth a claim. Call (386) 388-3777.
Someone told me about Homeland. Are they any good?▶
Don’t take our word for it; check us. Every Homeland license is listed under Verify Homeland: Florida firm license W818638, named licensed adjusters, BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, serving property owners since 2006. Read the results and reviews, and ask us who will handle your claim before you sign.
