TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis highlighted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers activation of Operation Blue Roof for several counties in Florida impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The purpose of Operation Blue Roof is to provide homeowners and permanently occupied rental properties in disaster areas with fiber-reinforced sheeting to cover their damaged roofs until arrangements can be made for permanent repairs. This is a free service to homeowners. Operation Blue Roof protects property, reduces temporary housing costs, and allows residents to remain in their homes while recovering from the storm. The CFO also posted information on Operation Blue Roof on X.

Visit BlueRoof.gov or call 888-ROOF-BLU (888-766-3258) for more information and a list of approved counties.
