<p>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!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>The Home Damage <i>Assessment</i> Program asks residents to report hurricane
damage to their home as soon as it is safe to go outside by calling <b><u>3-1-1</u></b>
or logging on to the Broward County Web site at <a
href="http://www.broward.org/hurricane">www.broward.org/hurricane</a> and click
on Home Damage Assessment Program.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Remember, you must have access to the photos to make a report, as Hurricane
Hotline call takers will only be able to accept numbers “1-4” as damage levels
and “5-6” for flood levels.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Resident reports will provide a critical early indication of where major
damage has occurred. These reports do not constitute a request for individual
assistance and do not replace the normal grid-by-grid assessments performed by
County assessment teams.<o:p></o:p></p>
