Find Wifi hotspots
Comcast has opened 52,296 public Xfinity WiFi hotspots in both indoor and outdoor areas for anyone to use for free in 21 counties affected by Helene. Search by your ZIP code or visit Finder.wifi.xfinity.com.
Unemployment information/instructions
Here are some links (Federal and State) where employees can find information about unemployment and disaster claim filings. States will continue to update their sites as disaster areas get federal approval.
As stated, employees will have to file for regular unemployment benefits first. The state will determine if they meet the monetary requirements to establish a regular claim. If they don’t qualify for regular benefits and were unemployed due to the disaster, they can file a disaster claim once the state is approved for federal disaster unemployment assistance.
