Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Develop the infrastructure needed to implement a state wide post wind storm damage midigation initiative.  Includes identifying, recuiting, training and coordinating locally licensed and insured general and roofing contractors who will go into affected neighborhoods during the brief "dry out" window immediately following a severe wind storm and cover the damaged roofs of single family homes with plastic sheeting.  This will reduce the potential for subsequent water damage to the interior of the homes from ensuing rains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

By covering the roofs of damaged but salvageable homes with plastic sheeting, the potential for water damage from subsequent rain to the interior of these homes will be greatly reduced.  The cost to the insurance companies and to the families will also be reduced through minimizing further damage to the residence.  Protecting the roofs of these homes will also make it more likely that families will be able to remain in their homes while waiting for long-term repairs to be made, thus reducing the demand on emergency shelters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

There is a targeted number of contractors to be recruited and a specific number of volunteers to serve as quality controllers.
