The Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has provided the following update to the previously released information on reporting storm damage:

Individuals of private industry and privately owned commercial infrastructure who sustained property damage from the January 10th storm, including wharfs, floats, vessels, etc. are urged to document and report that damage by filling out the Business and Agriculture Initial Damage Assessment Survey (online).

This is not an application for assistance nor a guarantee of financial assistance. Submission of damage information will help the State of Maine best understand the extent of damage from the January 10th storm. Individuals who sustained damages to their primary residence are encouraged to report their damages to 211 Maine.

Individuals who sustained damages to their primary residence are encouraged to document and report that damage by filling out the Individuals & Households Initial Damage Assessment Survey (online), or by reporting damages to 211 Maine. This is also not an application for assistance nor a guarantee of financial assistance.

As noted earlier, DMR is working closely with Governor Mills and the Maine Emergency Management Agency as we assess the extent of the damage to Maine's coastline.

Please note,?this is not an application for assistance, nor a guarantee of financial assistance. This information will help the State of Maine understand the full scope of damage from this event.

It is imperative that individuals of private industry and privately owned commercial infrastructure who sustained property damage from the January 10th storm, including wharfs, floats, vessels, etc. document and report that damage by filling out the Business and Agriculture Initial Damage Assessment Survey (online).

Please share this notice with anyone on Maine's working waterfront who may have experienced damage from this storm.

In the meantime, please be aware of areas along the coast, both on land and on the water, where there may be hazards as a result of yesterday's storm and proceed with caution.

Also, please note that we have a similar storm coming this weekend with an even higher tide, so it?s clear that additional preparations will be needed.? ?

DMR will continue to evaluate this situation and will communicate updates from the Governor's office and from MEMA as efforts to recover from this storm move forward.
