Town of Putnam Valley

Notice

IMPORTANT MEMO
from Supervisor Annabi
Re: FEMA APPLICATION PROCESS

I am working with all federal, state, and local officials to obtain physical and financial assistance to help with all the Town-wide damage, as well as damages that our residents here in Putnam Valley have incurred. 

Set forth below are steps you should follow:

If you have damage to your home from the rainstorm of 7/9 and 7/10, you must first file a claim with your personal insurance company.  Letters denying insurance claims, and any official correspondence related to items not covered by insurance, will be needed for any type of FEMA reimbursements, which may be filed once the Town of Putnam Valley has been approved for FEMA eligibility.

Next, take lots of pictures, with close up and panoramic views of all damage.  Print all pictures.

Keep all receipts for anything bought in the process of repair of damaged property.

Keep a specific record of all destroyed/damaged items with estimated costs for replacement.  All of these items should be filed with your insurance company claim.

All documents must be saved and secured until it is time to file for FEMA reimbursements. 

Any questions please call 845-526-2121 and we will do our best to walk you through the process.
