Flood Damage and Assessement Form

I got this message from the Cornell Cooperative Extension and wanted to pass it along to everyone in the Woodland Community Association.

Did you have flood damage to your property on Oct. 1st?
Please fill out a Damage Assessment Form

Landowners and business owners:

If you own a business or a primary residency in Ulster or County that had any kind of structural damage in the flood on Oct. 1, 2010, it is urgent that you print and fill out a FEMA Residential and Business Damage Assessment Form and send it to your Town Code Enforcement Officer. Click Here for the form. Please share this form with other people who may have incurred damages from the flood. The town and county need to document the amount of property damage that has occurred in order to establish the need for FEMA public assistance funds. Public assistance is triggered if $600,000 or more in damages is documented for Ulster County in addition to $25 million in damages statewide.

Filling in the form is no guarantee of public assistance, but it may help to get a disaster declaration for our area so that funding can be released.

Do you need flood insurance? If you noticed flood waters came close to your home and you don't have flood insurance, you should consider obtaining flood insurance.
Go to floodsmart.gov for more information.

For more information, see the attached letter or contact your local code enforcement officer.
