Conduct Detailed Damage Assessment
The damage assessment process is an on-going effort.
  • A Detailed Damage Assessment takes place if a federal declaration is received and before permanent repair work begins
The Detailed Damage Assessment goes back over the same components assessed previously, but in greater detail. The assessments are used to justify repairs and costs and to document the cause of impacts. If the utility is seeking FEMA Public Assistance or other federal grants, these assessments serve as the building blocks of the application process. The assessments are performed by utility engineers, technical staff, and emergency or permanent repair crews.

With the Presidential Disaster Declaration in place, Our Town Utility staff start working with state and federal recovery officials to complete Detailed Damage Assessments.

Rick works closely with state and federal officials to ensure that information captured by utility staff and crews about the damage caused by the flooding and high winds is comprehensive and accurate. This helps Our Town Utility to receive as much funding as possible to cover the costs of estimated repair work.
