As part of our ongoing hurricane recovery efforts, the City has begun the process of assessing damaged structures as part of FEMA requirements. Over the coming days and weeks, you will see contractor teams from Tetra Tech in your neighborhoods.  This is the firm we are working with in completing the assessment process within FEMA’s required timelines. We anticipate they will start on Tuesday, Nov. 12.  Here’s what you can expect as these teams begin their work:

–          Teams will begin to assess structures from the curbside in vehicles and will frequently take photos from the vehicle.  They do not require access inside the structure.

–          In some cases, teams will be on foot and need to take multiple photos and record basic information like your address.

–          Each of these team members will wear yellow reflective vests and will have a credential indicating they are a Tetra Tech contractor that they can display via QR code on their devices.

–          Each of these teams will be using handheld electronic devices (tablets and smartphones) to record the necessary information.

We know recovering from two hurricanes is overwhelming, and we thank you for working with us through this required FEMA process.  If you have any questions as you see Tetra Tech staff in your area, please contact Tarpon Springs Emergency Management, 727-938-3737.
