The county
Where would a Putnam County vendor drive?
Palatka has been the county seat since Putnam was created in 1849, and it is still the largest of the county's five cities and towns, with 10,872 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate.
Four in five of Putnam's 77,734 residents (80%) live outside those five, in unincorporated communities such as East Palatka.
Putnam County borders seven other counties in 1Stop's region: Alachua, Bradford, Clay, Flagler, Marion, St. Johns and Volusia. The application takes every Florida county you will drive to, so list them all.
For roofing and restoration crews: FEMA designated Putnam County for Individual Assistance after Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Nicole (2022), Hurricane Helene (2024) and Hurricane Milton (2024).

Local considerations
Four storms since 2022
Putnam was designated for FEMA Individual Assistance after four hurricanes since 2022, Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Nicole (2022), Hurricane Helene (2024) and Hurricane Milton (2024). Restoration in Putnam has no response target yet, which is worth knowing before the season opens on June 1 rather than after.
