Release Date:

The RISEUP program, a collaboration between The U.S. Department of
Defense, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Guam Homeland
Security/Office of Civil Defense, the Federal Emergency Management
Agency and the Mayor’s Council of Guam, continues to help
temporarily repair metal roofs damaged by Typhoon Mawar. The deadline
to enroll for this free service is June 30, 2023.

“This milestone represents the commitment, hard work and collective
efforts of our U.S. Servicemembers, Guam partners, and all of the
USACE personnel working behind the scenes,” Lt. Col. Chelsey
O’Nan, senior USACE representative on Guam said. “We are proud to
be able to assist the residents of Guam during this recovery by
providing a quality, temporary roofing solution through the RISEUP
program.”  

Guam residents who have damaged metal roofs can enroll for the program
through their mayor’s office. There are three steps to sign up:

 	* Guam resident contacts their mayor’s office to apply.
 	* Resident’s roof damage is assessed for eligibility.
 	* If eligible, a temporary metal roof is installed.

It is important to note that Guam residents do not need to register
with FEMA to qualify for this program and participation will not
affect other forms of federal disaster assistance, such as those
provided by FEMA.

The timeline for how fast temporary roofs can be installed will be
largely based on the number of requests and size of the area impacted.

Emergency roof repair assistance is limited to pre-disaster
owner-occupied residences. Repairs to commercial properties, including
rental units are ineligible.
