Good news regarding power restoration and recovery following Hurricane Irene reported tonight via the Lee E-Crier News & Events listserv:
Power Update
Earlier today, PSNH contacted the Town of Lee an indicated that by 8:00 pm, tonight, August 31, 2011 all PSNH customers in the Town should have power restored. It is the Towns belief from what has been indicated to us that all NHECOP power has been fully restored.
If you or someone you know does not have power restored as indicated, please contact the utility company directly, do not assume that they know your power is out.
PSNH contact number is 800-662-7764. NHEC 800-698-2007
Closed Roads
The only road closed is High Rd. This is due to bridge construction and not storm damage. All others that were closed due to storm damage have been open.
Private Storm Damage
All private property owners who suffered property damage related to Tropical Storm Irene should collect as much information on the damage as they can and report it 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.
211 New Hampshire
211 New Hampshire is a great way to stay connected with what is happening around the state, it is not just for “Irene”. It is a very valuable resource that is always available.
