Governor Jodi Rell has announced that damage assessment teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be on the ground in Connecticut beginning this week to examine the aftermath of severe flooding, particularly in southeastern Connecticut, following last week's heavy rainstorms around the state.
The Governor on Thursday urged residents and businesses to quickly report storm-related damage to their local Town or City Hall. Property owners should first contact their homeowners insurance provider to determine whether the damage to their home is covered. Businesses with business liability insurance are urged to do the same. Uninsured damage and costs should be reported to city or town emergency management or civil preparedness directors.
Property owners should take pictures of damage inside and outside homes or businesses prior to clean-up and repair and should also keep a file with receipts and records of bulky waste pickups, tree removal, replacement items and repair costs (especially uninsured costs).
