On
our tour, Chuck Lanza discusses what goes on at the EOC during a
disaster. He also introduced the Home Damage Assessment
Program so they can send resources to where they are needed most. |
|
|
|
Broward County is introducing a new program to help quickly identify
areas of devastation, even before damage assessment teams are able
to canvass the County. It’s easy and a great service to the
community! The Home Damage Assessment Program asks residents to
report hurricane damage to their home as soon as it is safe to go
outside by calling 3-1-1 and reporting your damage by comparing it
to photos 1-4 above. Go to
