Officials from FEMA will be on site to help residents apply for this service or get answers to questions regarding blue roof covering.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has launched Operation Blue Roof in Miami Dade County. Operation Blue Roof provides blue plastic sheeting to cover roofs on eligible homes damaged by Hurricane Wilma at no cost to the homeowner. Only primary residences that have sloped, shingled roofs are eligible to receive a blue roof. Structures with greater than 50 percent structural damage are not eligible. Homes with flat, tiled or slate roofs will not qualify, and mobile homes with aluminum siding only cannot support a blue roof unless substantially reinforced. Homeowners will be required to sign a “Right of Entry” (ROE) document which allows the Army Corps staff to assess roof damage. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers does not have tarps available for general distribution.
