GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich residents should check their city's website over the next couple days for a form they can use to report any property damage that resulted from Tropical Storm Henri and/or the remnants of Hurricane Ida.

Greenwich officials are working with the Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) on an Initial Damage Assessment to determine whether the town sustained damage that meets the criteria for federal disaster assistance programs, the Greenwich Sentinel reported.

To complete the assessment, the news outlet reported, anyone whose home or business sustained damage from one of the storms should document that damage, contact their insurance company to see whether repairs are covered by their policy, take photos of all damaged property and items and keep all receipts for repairs/costs.

The city of Stamford is asking for similar storm damage reports from its residents as it seeks an official declaration from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which would allow community members who need to recover from the storm's damage to receive the necessary financial assistance.
