Town Begins Collecting Storm Damage Assessment Forms

(New City, NY) - The Town of Clarkstown is assisting the County of Rockland in preparing for a FEMA review of Rockland County individual and business disaster assessments and declaration.  The Town is asking residents and businesses that have suffered damage during Hurricane Irene to fill out a Storm Damage Assessment Form on the Town’s website (www.town.clarkstown.ny.us) as soon as possible. 

The Town will be collecting all residents and businesses damage information to be included on the County's central database.  This form is not an application for FEMA assistance.  This is an initial damage assessment and approximate estimate to assist the County in obtaining individual assistance from FEMA.  It is not necessary for residents to provide detailed information, itemized lists, photos or exact estimates with this form.   

The Town will continue to keep its residents and businesses informed on any information received from the County of Rockland regarding FEMA assistance for individuals.
