The Operation Blue Roof program provides a free temporary roof for residential structures, schools, daycares, and all publicly owned facilities. These temporary roofs provide short-term relief until the owner can make permanent repairs. The temporary roofs also prevent additional damage from occurring to the building and its contents and may be the difference between a resident remaining in the structure versus seeking temporary shelter.

Here are some facts about OPERATION BLUE ROOF:

• To qualify for BLUE ROOF services, damage to the roof must be less than 50 percent and the area to be covered must be structurally sound for a crew to work on.

• In order to have plastic sheeting placed on their roofs, homeowners must complete a right-of-entry form to allow government and contract employees on their property. Right of Entry (ROE) centers are opened for affected counties.  For the center location in your county, call toll free 1-888-766-3258.

• The Blue Roof Program covers roofs in the hardest hit counties first. Be patient. The Contractors will respond to every person who has completed a ROE as quickly as possible.

• In some instances, there may be a slowdown in installing plastic sheeting because of a national shortage.

• Homeowners may also cover their roofs with free tarps provided by FEMA and issued through their local governments. Residents need to monitor the media for information on where to pick up the tarps.

• The plastic covering and the tarps are temporary fixes designed to provide protection from the elements until the homeowner can make permanent repairs with a qualified professional.

• Temporary Repairs are provided FREE through the Blue Roof Program

• The government contracted companies will provide a free temporary roof to residential structures through its Blue Roof Program. Citizens need to show up at sites set up across the city to sign up for the program.
