PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is
continuing to install blue roofs for survivors whose home roofs were
damaged in Hurricane Michael.

 

	* Even though the USACE is no longer accepting requests, it is still
making repairs for survivors who applied for Blue Roof assistance
before the Nov. 16 deadline.

 

	* To check on the status of a Blue Roof request, call 888-ROOF-BLU
(888-766-3258).

 

	* Those who sustained losses from Hurricane Michael and have not yet
registered for disaster assistance may do so at DisasterAssistance.gov
or by calling 800-621-3362 between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. local time seven
days a week.

 

To date, more than 6,000 roofs have been installed.

 

USACE is warning homeowners of fraudsters who may be representing
themselves as Operation Blue Roof representatives.

 

Signs of fraud may include:

	* No USACE quality assurance assessment. 
	* No USACE contractor with a valid work order. 
	* Asking for payment. (The program is free of charge.)
	* Soliciting by paper applications. 

 

Homeowners who may suspect they are being scammed should contact the
Disaster Fraud Hotline at
866-720-5721 (TTY 844-889-4357), USACE at 888-766-3258 or local law
enforcement.
