Craig Hammerman, District Manager of Community Board 6, just wrote to say that if you have storm related damage, report it to the City by calling 311. Here’s his note:

Thankfully yesterday’s storm did not take a greater toll on human life, but its impact on our neighborhood’s trees is another story altogether.  If you suffered any storm-related damage, please take a minute to report it to the City by calling it in to 311.  Please encourage your friends and neighbors to do so as well.  The more accurately the City can report the extent of the damage, the more likely we will qualify for resources to help make our communities whole again…

And here’s the message from the City:

Friday, September 17, 2010 – Report Home and Business Damage to 311

Call 311 to report any damage to your home or business sustained from last night’s storm. In order to qualify for disaster relief assistance, New York City must estimate the storm’s total effect on city residents and employees. Be prepared to answer questions about the extent of your property’s damage.
