Today marks 25 years since the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. We remember the lives in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington DC.

These attacks were the deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement in US history, with 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement personnel losing their lives.

2977 civilians lost their lives 25 years ago and thousands more were injured. The terror attacks will forever be a defining moment that changed the direction of families and communities all across our nation, with men and women all over answering the call to serve in response.

The courage and sacrifice of so many should never be forgotten.

May we never forget 🇺🇸

With the flooding that occurred last night, there is a self reporting tool available to help capture damages to private property.

This is a Self Reporting Tool that is open to capture any residential damages.

This is available for residents to complete with the potential of applying for a Small Business Administration disaster assistance loan depending on damages and if thresholds are met.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) Physical Disaster Loans are the primary form of federal assistance for non-farm, private sector disaster losses. Approval of a State’s request for an Administrative
Declaration authorizes Physical Disaster Loans to support the recovery of residents, businesses and private nonprofit organizations.

Below is the survey link for residents to complete.

There is no guarantee we will meet the SBA threshold however this is the best option to capture damages for review.

Threshold: Within a county, 25 or more homes or businesses (any combination) with 40% or more of uninsured losses of the estimated fair replacement value or pre-disaster fair market value of damaged property, whichever is lower.

This survey is utilized after a disaster to collect self reported damages from survivors.
