USACE announces start of Blue Roof Program in response to Hurricane Ian https://www.saj.usace.army.mil/Media/News-Releases/Article/3177838/usace-announces-start-of-blue-roof-program-in-response-to-hurricane-ian/ The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been tasked by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist eligible homeowners with temporary roof repairs. The Operation Blue Roof program will begin on Oct. 3 to provide a temporary blue covering with fiber-reinforced sheeting to help reduce further damage to property until permanent repairs can be made. Operation Blue Roof is a free service to homeowners. The initial sign up period is set for 21 days and will end on Oct. 23. Residents impacted by Hurricane Ian can sign up at Blueroof.us. Here, you can sign up for Blue Roof assistance using a Right of Entry (ROE) form, which gathers information about your residence. The ROE is a legal document that allows Corps workers to access your property and assess your home's damage. The ROE also allows contracted crews to work on your roof. Operation Blue Roof is a priority mission managed by the U.S. Army Corps Engineers. It protects property, reduces temporary housing costs, and allows residents to remain in their homes while recovering from the storm. This program is for primary residences or a permanently occupied rental property with less than 50 percent structural damage. Vacation rental properties are not eligible for this program. After the blue roof is installed, the structure is declared habitable. Not all roof types qualify for the program. Roofs that are flat or made of metal or clay, slate, or asbestos tile do not qualify. All storm debris must be removed for the roof to qualify. Residents can also call toll free 1-888-ROOF-BLU (1-888-766-3258) for more information. Contractors and Landscapers Required to Dispose of Hurricane Debris Legally Contractors and landscapers are required to dispose of hurricane debris at an authorized solid waste facility. The Collier County Landfill and several private facilities accept vegetative, construction and demolition, and other types of debris. Contractors must pay the disposal fee when dropping off debris. It is a crime to dump hurricane debris or yard waste by the side of the road and in vacant lots. Residents are asked for their assistance in reporting illegal dumping of debris. Anyone who witnesses illegal dumping is encouraged to write down the details of the incident and immediately contact Collier County Code Enforcement at (239) 252-2440.
