Can I claim for disaster relief on taxes if I was in an affected by hurricane? I didn't own the business just work for it

I deliver for restaurants on an island that was hit by hurricane Helene and Milton closing down all businesses for quite some time

No.  You cannot claim lost wages or loss of income on your taxes even if it was caused by a declared major disaster.
