 Good morning, everyone. First, I want to thank everyone who participated in the clean-up day on Saturday. There were a lot of volunteers helping out across the state. Over 500 signed up, and there were hundreds more that joined on their own. So far we know over 100,000 pounds of debris was collected on Saturday, and that number will continue to grow as reports come in. Organizing the event on just a couple of weeks' notice took a lot of hard work, so I want to thank Green Up Vermont, their local coordinators, Ernie Bach at Ngunsuguru, and all their partners for their support. From what I saw working on a couple of projects and burying myself, and what I hear from people around the state is there's still a lot of work left to do. So it's not over, and we'll continue to meet volunteers in efforts like this to get us through the next couple of months. For example, I've seen and already heard about the many tires amongst the debris, so wheels for warmth will be collecting tires on Saturday, September 16th from 8 to 4 at the Granite Museum in Berry. If you've collected tires as a result of the flood, please bring them down on the 16th and we'll dispose of them at no charge. But I want to be clear, this is for flood tires only. We will not be collecting tires for the traditional wheels for warmth program on September 16th. That will happen later in October. I know for many, especially in areas that weren't impacted as July floods are a thing of the past, but we have to remember there are still thousands of homeowners and employers living with the consequences every single day. They're still mucking out their homes, preparing damage, and searching for funding so they can pay their bills and rebuild their lives. Many are still worried about the basics, like whether the furnace will fire up in time for winter, which is right around the corner. That's why this response and recovery continues to be the primary focus for me. My team, municipalities, charitable organizations, all our congressional delegation and local leaders, and will be for many, many months ahead. Debris cleanup continues to be a high priority for the SEOC and Commissioner Morrison will have an update in a few minutes. We all have to stay focused on debris removal. Here's why. We only have to look at what the storms are bringing us today as an example. But we're watching also in real time as Hurricane Adelia is hitting Florida. We're reminded that hurricane season is here and could impact us with more rain in the coming weeks. One of the biggest concerns and again we can see this happening in real time when it comes to flooding happens when culverts, bridges, catch basins, and other structures become obstructed with debris and are still obstructed as a result of the flooding. That's why all of us from the state to municipalities need to make cleaning debris a priority to reduce flooding impacts over the next few months. Another priority is making sure those who suffer damage get as much funding as possible to recover. So we need for monitors and municipalities to know we're coming up on deadlines to apply for FEMA support. So please, please don't wait. Get your applications and information into FEMA now before it's too late. If you've already applied and believe you should get more, you can and should appeal to FEMA. That's also the case of your costs have increased since you made your original claim. I know there are a lot of questions about this process and General Roy will have more to say on that in a few minutes. Lastly, Secretary Curley will report on BGAP, the business assistance program. I've run into a few business owners over the last couple of weeks who still aren't aware of this opportunity. So it's important if you suffer damage as a business, please apply to this simple process. So we continue to try to get the word out. If your business again was impacted by the flooding, please apply. There's still capacity and I know every bit can help. So with that, I'll turn it over to Commissioner Morrison. Thank you, Governor and good morning to all of you. Thank you for being here to help us get important information out to the public. My remarks will focus on debris management. Flood debris continues to be a major focus for the state and municipalities. Cities and towns should continue to collect flood debris from rights of way and document the costs for federal reimbursement. Those communities that lack sufficient resources to collect this debris should contact Vermont emergency management to arrange for assistance. For over a month, the state has been assisting in cleaning debris from public rights of way. To date, Vermont's debris contractor and the agency of transportation have picked up nearly 6,000 tons or 12 million pounds of flood waste from public rights of way. This does not include the considerable efforts of towns and private landowners who have worked with contracted waste haulers themselves. This cleanup has focused first on the hardest hit communities specifically Montpelier, Berry City, Berlin, Middlesex, Berry Town, Plainfield, Marshfield, Washington, Barton, East Montpelier and Orange. We are now working in other heavily impacted towns including East Montpelier, Coventry, Waterbury, Orange, Woodbury, Brandon and Ludlow. The state is working to ensure that nothing is missed. We're reaching out directly to cities and towns as well as sending task forces into the field to identify piles that have not been identified by municipalities or by individuals. We have recruited five emergency medical services to scout debris. They report locations to the state emergency operations center for coordination of debris sorting and pickup. These EMS teams have traveled over 3,000 miles of road in 52 flood affected towns and have reported over 144 individual debris piles. We are using this information to determine where to focus for the resources. Demolition and other manmade debris is still the highest priority category as it is likely the most dangerous. As we clean up from the July storms we are keeping our eyes open for other potential problems that could pop up now that hurricane season is entering its busiest month and we are thinking ahead to spring thawing events. This means that we have to also focus on vegetative and woody debris in and around our waterways. Fortunately no storms are tracking toward Vermont right now but even as we clean up from the recent floods we have to work to mitigate problems that could come up if we should see another extended rain event. This includes clearing trash and vegetative debris from culverts, catch basins, storm water systems, bridge abutments and rivers. Towns and individuals should also be working now to unblock culverts, empty their catch basins and clean up jammed bridge abutments. We can't stop the rain but we can do everything possible to ensure that it goes where it should go. If you have flood related debris and need assistance removing it or if you know of someone who does please report this to your municipal leadership. Likewise if you know of a clogged catch basin blocked culvert or other area of potentially dangerous debris report it to local officials. The state is prepared to assist with any work that exceeds local resources but we have to know about the issues in order to give you help. Local officials can contact the state emergency operations center through our watch officer 24-7-365. Thank you very much and I will turn things over to general Roy. Good morning. I'll be a little longer than normal. I just so I can cover some of the appeals process that the governor asked us to speak to but before we begin there even with the severe weather and we note that during this incident here in Vermont we've had a number of other national level incidents we've watched right Hawaii with the wildfires California with Hillary and of course now here today with Adalia. Excuse me. But even so we still have over 400 FEMA personnel here in Vermont assisting with the recovery. As of today we've provided over 16 million dollars to residents impacted by this disaster. 16 million dollars. If you have not applied for assistance please do so by visiting disasterassistance.gov or calling us at 1-800-621-3362 or visiting one of our nine disaster recovery centers known as DRCs. I'd like to take a moment to talk about the appeals process for individual assistance. First, carefully read the letter you receive from FEMA. Reading this letter will help you decide what the next steps are. If you do not understand the letter please visit one of the nine DRCs we have open here in Vermont. FEMA representatives are also making calls to applicants who may need additional information for their case. So far the team has placed over 5,000 calls. 5,000 calls and has resulted in an additional 2.6 million dollars provided to residents in Vermont. I say that again. They have called 5,000 of our residents and has resulted in over 2.6 million additional dollars being provided by updating their cases. If an applicant receives a denial letter or disagrees with the determination from FEMA they can appeal the decision. Appeals should be made within 60 days of the date of their notification letter. So if they get a letter it says hey you're not eligible for this or this is much money we're giving you for your HVAC system and they want to appeal that they have 60 days from when they get that letter not from when they first started the process. When they appeal we look for the documentation to support their appeal. So any receipts that they have any contractor estimates or insurance determinations will help us adjust the amount that they're receiving. And as I said each eligibility decision has its own 60-day window. So if you're appealing for your HVAC system and you're also requesting additional rental assistance those are two separate appeals in each of them has their own 60-day window. Importantly applicants can also submit contractor estimates after the 60-day appeal window. We recognize here in Vermont that access to contractors has been very difficult for many of our residents so they can as part of their justification process they can explain why they couldn't get a contractor in there and then submit the updated information from the contractor. The appeals letter must explain the reason for the appeal and must be signed by the applicant themselves or a person who the applicant authorizes a sign on their behalf. The appeal submission should also include the following information their full name the FEMA application number and the disaster number the address of the pre-disaster residents that was impacted and then their current phone number and current address. They can submit these appeals either uploading it at disasterassistance.gov as part of their case or they can fax it to 1-800-827-8112 or they can just go to one of the DRCs and our staff there will help them upload their documents. We currently have nine disaster recovery centers still open today. We have one at the Barton Memorial building in Barton. We have one at the Springfield Health Center which closes on the 2nd of September. We have one in the Cabot Town Hall, one at the Armory and Waterbury, one at the Barrie Auditorium, one at the Ace of Bloomer building in Rutland. That one closes on the 1st of September. We have one at the Wardsboro Town Hall, the Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier and the Northern Vermont University in Johnson and then very quickly also also want to talk about direct housing which has been approved for Memorial, Washington and Windsor counties. For this disaster solutions can include temporary transport houses, mobile homes, direct lease. In other words FEMA will find a location for somebody and do a direct lease for them to live in or we are searching for multi-family locations that we can lease and repair. So if there's a multi-family location that is in disrepair we can take a look at it and make the repairs and the repairs we made will count against the lease we'll have but the lease will be repaired. So we have requests out there via media for anybody who has a facility like that they would like us to take a look at. We're currently dealing with about 250 people who are eligible for direct housing. Many of these people have already found their own solutions and don't need FEMA's help but we still call them and ask them what their goals are and if they need our assistance. So if they're living with a relative and a relative is kind enough to put up with them for a couple months but they realize they're getting something for a longer period we'll help them with that. And with that we are also continuing to call these individuals to make sure that their housing condition is stable and if it changes they can call us and we can help them with direct housing. Lastly just a couple of stats we talked about still 415 FEMA personnel here in Vermont. We've had 5449 residents apply for individual assistance. We've approved 16.3 million dollars. U.S. Small Business Administration has approved over 12 million dollars and provided 267 loans to homeowners renters and businesses. I would also note that today we've had 77 payments dispersed for private bridges and also 445 payments for road repair for people's driveways. So those are things that we can help with. I know that's come up in a number of different times. So with that I'm going to turn it over to Secretary Curlie. Thank you. Thank you. Good morning everyone. I am going to provide another update this morning our BGAP program as the governor mentioned. We're really trying to encourage impacted businesses to apply. To date almost 600 applications have been formally submitted and 392 are fully complete. So that's up around 50 from last week. 66 are currently being reviewed or are in the queue to be reviewed. 34 percent are completed and approved for a BGAP grant. A total of 1.8 million dollars in funding has been approved and the average award amount is 13 thousand dollars. Total damages for the applications that have been submitted is around 138 million dollars. Total net damages meaning that's deducting insurance and other grants is about 111 million dollars. We continue to work through the applications and support business owners in getting completed applications into our agency for processing. As a reminder there are technical assistance resources available to businesses to help them with their application process and those can be found at accd.vermont.gov. Also as a reminder we have a contractor estimator tool that can help businesses estimate their damages if they're unable to get a contractor to visit their place of business. ACCD is also continuing to get the word out about this program. We are aware that there are some business owners who still haven't heard of this program likely due to the fact that they are so involved in the cleanup process. So we are doubling down on our efforts through our partners to spread the word about this program. The agency is also hearing from businesses that did not suffer physical damage but did suffer economic harm due to the flooding event. While there is no funding available to address this need at this time we are collecting data from the business community on any economic harm via a survey. This survey can also be found at the Recovery Resource Center on our website at accd.vermont.gov. Again this survey is not tied to any specific grant opportunity or funding at this time but will help us understand the impact of the economic loss to businesses should opportunities arise to advocate for supporting those businesses. I also just want to mention that each week we're seeing news that impacted adversely impacted businesses are coming back online and we're really excited and we hope that the deployment of these grants will continue to bring the good news and will continue to see businesses coming online and their doors open. So again if you know folks that are really busy with their cleanup and they haven't had the time to be watching the news or looking on social media please spread the word about these grants because it is our goal to help them restore their businesses and bring their employees back and get their doors open and get our communities back to the vibrancy they were before this storm. So thank you very much and with that I think I'm back to the governor. Thank you very much Secretary Curley we'll now open up to questions. I think they're at different times maybe uh September 12th currently for individual assistance. Are there any efforts on behalf of the state to ask to extend those deadlines? We have a we put out a request for a number of different changes. Doug you want to address that right now? So we have one request pending with FEMA which could influence this it's a petition to reconsider the incident period and we're providing FEMA with supplemental data to support that request that is in process and we are will soon most likely today be sending a request to extend the IA deadline from September 12th to October 12th primarily because we are seeing communities still trying to work through this process. IA individual assistance is relatively new to Vermonters so we want to request that additional 30 days from FEMA. And maybe you might be the best person to answer this at what point would we hear back from FEMA on that? Well fortunately the regional administrator for FEMA Region 1 has delegated that authority to me so not a lot of levels to go through. What we'll look at is the Stafford Act does require us to take a look at exceptions and what's causing the request to extended. We recognize that we have three counties that are added on later than others. A lot of people haven't been able to get into the homes because of the floods so we took a take a look at all those and we'll provide a very prompt response to this the Governor's request. While you're up there I do have one thing to add. We are also submitting a request to FEMA for an extension to the deadline to submit for the August 3rd through August 7th activity as a separate disaster so because we're petitioning to reconsider the incident period it would of course overlap and impact that disaster period determination on FEMA's part so that is one another element that's in play here. We do have a population under 50 right now that we're working with in the Washington County area. Obviously the one area that's been impacted most greatly and so we're working with that population to find opportunities for them. Clearly in Washington County specifically Barry Montpelier and Berlin there's not a lot of locations that we can do direct lease in not a lot of not a lot of multifamily homes that we can repair and so more than likely we'll end up looking for a location to use for mobile homes to set them up. So that's what we stand right now but we recognize that you know Lemuel County and Windsor also have that opportunity. We're working with them to see if they need assistance. So you're talking about when you say mobile homes you're talking about FEMA trailers it would be? Yes mobile home units. Yes sir. And you also talked about the possibility of rehab and existing multifamily structures. Yes sir. Where I mean how far have you gotten in terms of identifying locations? We've put out requests for proposals for people to say hey I've got this unit here you know we'd like you come take a look at it. We haven't had much work back at all because it's just not a lot out there. We recognize coming into this storm that the housing was very very difficult in Vermont as it was and so there's not a lot of facilities out there for us to do that with. In the mobile home scenario are you envisioning a single plot where many units would be placed? We look at group sites as the last option and so we actually have to execute direct lease and multifamily repair and lease before we go to that that location because obviously it's more costly to the taxpayers right you've got to you've got to find an open site and place them. Ideally we would find commercial sites that have open slots. Again there's not a lot of them around here for us to work with so once we've exhausted direct lease and the multifamily repair and lease that opens up the opportunity for us to do a group sites and so we're actively in anticipation of that looking for locations where we may be able to do that. There's been a couple that come up that we're getting ready to take a look at but nothing's specifically right now and if you think about if it's open field think about all the infrastructure you have anybody who's built a house you know how long it takes to get all the infrastructure in you know septic electricity roads so there's a lot of work to be done and winners coming fast. I believe last week you said because you still have to build them once they get here they should be ready by mid-ten September is that timeline still somewhat accurate or while you're looking around could that be delayed? So we have we already have mobile home systems here in Vermont already. Now the hard part becomes right is finding a location getting the permits done putting the infrastructure in place and and so we're looking 60 to 90 days before a group site for instance would be complete and ready for people to move in. What do you say commercial locations do you mean like parking lots or what does that mean? I'm sorry yeah thank you very much commercial parking commercial mobile home locations much like you think at Florida right you've got a lot of them down there there's not many many available in Vermont. Thank you. Governor I was probably seen in downtown Montpelier a lot of businesses are in different stages in their recovery some are fully open some are looking to open by this week others really haven't even started the process their drywall is still wet and boldly. You know when you speak with some of them they they say number one they're looking for either financial help or longer term certainty about flood mitigation in Montpelier that big existential question have you had any conversations about what the future of mitigation in Montpelier looks like? Yeah well it's it's the whole corridor if you think about it when you think about Richmond Waterbury Montpelier Barrie all the way up to Williamstown it's it's one water system so to speak and so we're actively pursuing that we're we're considering a few options but those take time and you can't that won't happen overnight but it's definitely something that's on our mind and we want to mitigate for the future. What kinds of options could it be? It's really about a storage capacity from my standpoint and maybe a hydrologist could talk about this specifically but from layman's terms my perspective it really is about how do we store water along the way to prevent the massive surge of water all at one time so what we need to do is go to different areas and create capacity for the stormwater to at least stay in one place for a day or two before it's released downstream so it's it's a math problem and a hydrologist knows this very well and there's a lot of tributaries that come in to them to the main main rivers like the Winooski and so forth so it's a giant puzzle but but it's solvable it's just going to take a lot of work a lot of money and some time right so you've got the Dog River, the Stevens, the Winooski, how do you think this is the community but also the state should be able to start wrapping our head around some of these costs and what that would look like? Well again one at a time it's it's going to be impacting a number of different communities it's not just this this one happened to impact Washington County it has been for a number of storms whether it's again Barrie or Montpelier, Waterbury and so forth but there are other areas of the state and you know remember Ludlow, Rodlin, there are other areas that that need help as well so we have to continue to do whatever we can to mitigate the impacts of future flooding that's bound to happen and just so I'm clear so you see most of the work from Montpelier being upstream not necessarily in the town like flood walls or levees or anything? Yeah I don't I don't see that as an option but again I'm not an expert in the field but I think it's take the the easiest route first and when I see both upstream and downstream of Montpelier again you have to go all the way back up to Williamstown at the start and even into Northfield and start there and work your way down and there are a number of areas where we may end up having to create more capacity for the water to store. I think it's the last question about the at some of these Montpelier meetings that the community has been having some folks have sort of put forth the idea of maybe like a blue ribbon commission or some sort of task force to look into some of these questions is that on your radar do you have any plans to maybe put together? I haven't contemplated that we have a lot of experts in the in the field now and we just need to put it into play so I mean obviously it could be on the table but but at this point though we just need to get through this recovery stage at first the response recovered then mitigation but we are contemplating all three at once at this point. How worried are you for the economic future of Central Montpelier specifically obviously in the near term many businesses aren't open currently but I've spoken to people that own buildings along State Street and Main Street saying they don't know if they're going to be able to rent to anybody because they don't know if anyone's going to want to move in or just people that are already there if they're going to open anyway so how worried are you for the long yeah it's always a concern after after Irene we were concerned in Waterbury again flooding in Montpelier has been happening all too much over the last 30 40 years I've been part of that and been downstream of that with my own business and and and seen it so we I continue to be concerned about the long-term impacts the businesses Main Street businesses in particular are the glue that hold the community together and we we're trying to actively pursue alternatives to make sure that we mitigate for the future but understanding that people are are concerned about going back there but but again so that's why we have to to contemplate both at the same time as Calvin mentioned on State Street Main Street Montpelier some businesses are reopening some not necessarily yet but some of the state buildings such as the Pavilion where you work out of still seem like they have quite a bit of time to go in the process I guess just where do we stand and why are some of these businesses in Montpelier reopening when our work two is for so months down the line and state buildings still are not back online well some of the different issues some of the buildings that we have 133 state 109 state we're getting the HVAC systems electric systems back up in order and they will be done sooner than like the elevator system supply chain problems they're going to have an impact on on our reopening of those two facilities considering the ADA requirements and so forth and getting our employees back in and making sure that they can get to their offices as well so we we have you know our continued operations plan that we put into place so the good news is and most agencies and departments have a place to go we came here and and it's worked out well so we can work from anywhere it may not be ideal but but we need to make sure the wheels of government are continuing to turn and we're taking care of ever monitors in the process three questions followed up by the immigration policy question so uh propane and kerosene tanks i sure saw a lot of going down to steven's brook any numbers on just how many tanks were carried away by the class is it in the thousands uh any sense of damage caused yeah i'm not aware of damage cause and i don't know is it got up to the thousands but that's not a number we have at the ready i'm not sure we have it at all but we can look into it and i'm just wondering just from the flood damage mitigation perspective would it make sense to lay very natural gas pipelines from wood seven up the lamoille and muskiver basins to reduce pollution and loss of services caused by could be caused by propane kerosene damage so it just has a you know bury the lines less less flooding yeah um well certainly sometimes burying utility lines makes sense but it's also very expensive and uh we saw how long it took to bring natural gas into adison county for instance uh that would be years years away but um and we're moving in other directions as well more electrical upgrades and so forth so again everything should be considered but that's a a long-term approach to trying to mitigate some of the damage that we've seen of you mentioned the critical importance of debris removal earlier and i know that the department of environmental conservation has submitted an application to a federal agency i'm not even going to try to remember what it is it's got like eight names um but i'm wondering to what extent the cleanup along river corridors uh it's going to be on hold until the feds but it's not what they're going to help yeah um i think we have enough uh to do right now we're just getting to the uh the bridge infrastructure uh halverts and so forth that are within the right away of our state and municipal highways uh that will keep us busy for quite some time even the storm infrastructure if you think about it i would imagine with the amount of rain we just had over the last couple of hours in this region and we've heard that there's flooding in ripton there's a little bit of flooding in my opinion there's a little bit of flooding in berry and a lot of that is due to the silt that's built up in the catch basins in the storm infrastructure so getting that cleaned out is going to be critical as we move forward so it's it's not just the debris we're seeing you know it's visible in the in the river corridor but but trying to get to the culverts first making sure that we're getting those cleaned out the debris uh out from underneath the bridges and bridge infrastructure and and the stuff we don't see the silt in the storm infrastructure is going to be critical that we vacuum that out and that takes a lot of a lot of time and the appropriate equipment so we uh we again want to encourage municipalities if they're challenged in doing so or reaching out to them as well we we want to get the resources we need and if we have to go outside the state to get that we will and because that's going to be critical for not only right now but the next few weeks and into the spring when we have spring spring thaw and ice and so forth so it all has to work together and we don't have much time but we have to to focus on that so just getting that debris cleaned up around in our right of ways is going to be enough and i'm not i'm not sure about the other portion uh in the on the river corridors that you're speaking about but that might be maybe army corps of engineers i'm not sure but we can look into that when you say that vacuuming the silt how it takes a long time do you mean weeks or months or months i mean it's if you take um you may have witnessed that even in my pillier when there's a uh blockage and you think about those catch basins that that with the grates on top and you have silt in them and some of them are down eight feet um so you have a giant vacuum truck vacuum cleaner that sucks all that out well it takes time to do that but then that's only part of it right because the pipe infrastructure that leads from one case or catch basin to another is also full of silt so then you have to you have to go down through them so it's a it takes a long time to get through and clean out a whole storm infrastructure in a community and some communities don't have the infrastructure needed to accomplish that so again for those small communities like whether it's Worcester or Moortown or Plainfield they don't have a vac truck so we have to get a commercial service to do that and there's just not enough around in the workforce challenges we already face so again this is something that we want to focus on debris removal and and that's included in that debris removal and maybe dumb question but are you able to do that in the winter or not a dumb question you can do it because it's not as convenient but you can continue to do it because it's below ground and as long as the cold air doesn't get to it and it freezes then you can continue to get it but it would be much better if we could get it before the ground thaws but I don't imagine we'll get everything by that by that time we had I've only heard the numbers over the first day it was significant I think it was maybe a couple thousand in the first day so I don't have an up-to-date number but we can get that are you doing a big run production run we're trying I mean we have we've done a run and I don't know how many thousand that is but we will continue to monitor that and don't reorder as necessary um they're I think to make their five dollars I I don't have the answer to that yes yes I'm getting the thumbs up in the background yes there are socks still available but you can only order three I think three orders through I'm sorry you can only order three three pairs three yeah because Peter also mentioned funding for FEMA as you know Congress is going to be coming back they've got spending bills they have to work through there are some folks in Congress which are now kind of saying there might be a government shutdown if we do have one how will that impact our response well again when you're when you see the impacts of these storms in the regions of our of our country their red states blue states and so forth they affect us all I can't imagine that they wouldn't find a way to fund the request from FEMA to get through this these are these are important needs for our citizens and probably a better question for them but from my standpoint I can't imagine that they would allow something like that to happen when so many people are suffering at this point in time I mentioned last week trying to undertake some sort of measure to boost workforce capacity of the trades um any meaningful action on that front this stage do you have some you're working on yeah I mean we continue to I mean we've been working on that for a number of years but the problem is obviously is we don't have the people we are our demographics have shifted we have we're getting older they don't have as many youth so we don't even have the youth to train and that's why I keep advocating for we have to make Vermont more affordable to attract more people here because it's preventing people from moving to Vermont to live and so I'll continue to make the case but but it's a supply and demand issue it's pretty basic and we don't have the supply we have the demand we don't have the supply yeah yeah I mean we we we reached out and if we've tried to advocate for people we've had a little bit of success but not a lot unfortunately I know we still have a lot going on in the state but are there any plans to send whether it is maybe urban rescue teams down to states affected by Adalia as people came up here and helped us go yeah if requested we would we would be there and try and honor those requests you on the phone to go to next we'll start with Ed Barber Newport Daily Express Ed no questions today thank you thank you Lisa the AP can you hear me we can this is a question for I have a couple of questions for general Roy I'm wondering how how many homes are considered completely destroyed by by FEMA and how many have had major damage and then sort of how how much money is going into those two parts from FEMA I don't have the exact numbers for for major damage and destroyed because we're still gathering data as we receive you know contracts of estimates for repair and so forth we can get that to you but I don't have that number right at the top of my head the second question was the funding available the funding you know the ministry has stated that we still have funding available and we'll continue to fund all necessary requirements for helping individuals who've been impacted by disasters so how much of that 16 million went for our individual assistance okay all of it 16 million dollars was all individual assistance oh I see okay and that's and that's broken up between housing assistance and then another category called other needs assistance so things within your home and the preponderance of it has gone to housing assistance okay um all right so should I just email Jason or yes please okay thank you thank you Tim
