Greenwich is asking all residents who experienced damage from Ida to let them know ASAP, even if they do not intend to seek assistance

The Town of Greenwich will be assessed as a potential disaster assistance area based on the aggregate damage sustained by the town and town residents.

That means that your neighbors who need assistance are counting on those who don’t to let the town know about their damage anyway.

All residents who sustained any damage from Ida should go to this webpage and complete the damage assessment form: https://www.greenwichct.gov/ida


The Town of Greenwich is working with the CT Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) on an Initial Damage Assessment (IDA) for both Tropical Storm Henri and the remnants of Hurricane IDA. In order to determine if the damages from these events meet the criteria for federal disaster assistance programs, municipalities must report all damages including residential and business damages. In other words: in order to receive help from federal government assistance programs, the Town of Greenwich needs everyone to do the following:

If your home or business sustained damage from either Henri or Ida or both please take the following steps:

  1. Document damages for each storm event seperately. Write down as many dates and details as you can remember including specifically what was damaged.
  2. Contact your insurance company to determine if the damages are covered by your policy.
  3. Take photos of all damaged property and items.
  4. Keep all receipts for repairs/costs.
  5. Report details on the damages, provide photos, insurance information and your contact information to the Town of Greenwich. According to Chief Heavey, a special form has been created on the Town of Greenwich website specifically for this pupose at https://www.greenwichct.gov/ida.  A printed version will be distributed as well. Both should be available today or within the next few days. Check www.greenwichct.gov/

Once all of the damage data is received, DEMHS will assess whether the damages approach the federal criteria for disaster assistance programs.

All residents who experienced damage are encouraged to document and share it with the Town of Greenwich even if they will not seek assistance so that the town and DEMHA have an accurate aggregate assessment of the total damage.

Thank you to Brenda Bergeron from the Connecticut Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security for her help pulling this together.
