Hurricane Irene - Private Property Damage Assistance Data Collection

Durham Town Administrator, Todd Selig, conveys a request from the state to report serious property damage that resulted from Hurricane Irene to aid in applying for federal disaster assistance:

Hurricane Irene
Private Property Damage Assistance Data Collection

Dear Members of the Community,

All private property owners who suffered serious property damage related to Hurricane Irene are asked to collect as much information on the damage as they can and report it directly to the State of New Hampshire by calling 211 New Hampshire.

Written estimates from contractors, bills for actual expenditures, photographs – any records that may be used to establish the amount of losses should be retained.

Reporting losses to 211 will help the state determine the extent of damage to private property and will assist state officials in applying for Federal disaster assistance.

There is no guaranty that the state will receive assistance for private property damage, which is known as Individual Assistance. If it is granted, property owners will have to report the same information a second time, to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Todd
