CANTON, N.Y. (WWNY) – The community of Canton is asking residents to log their expenses and losses from Friday’s storm.
“We know that many homes and businesses are dealing with significant damage and there is much cleanup and repair to be done. We regret the difficulties many of you are facing,” the village said in a press release.
The community said it is likely that federal funds for disaster and hazard mitigation efforts will be available in the next few years. It said it is preparing to access the funds to repair systems damaged by the storm in the short term and to improve them in the long term so they can better withstand future storms.
“To do this, we need to document our community’s losses. It is important that all villagers document the costs and losses incurred as a result of this storm. Note the location, type and cause of damage, and estimates for repair and replacement. The village will set up a way to report this information in the coming days. We will also share any information on how private property owners can receive assistance as soon as that information is available,” the village said.
