Shelter Structure Damage Fillable Form: Emergency personnel are currently only able to drive the areas affected by the fire that can safely be accessed on the roadway – this is called a windshield assessment. During a Windshield Assessment, personnel are gathering a rough estimate of homes that may have been destroyed or damaged by the fire, or still intact. The personnel do not leave the roadway and do not go down driveways or roads that may have trees or power lines down across the roadway. When it is safe personnel designated to the Damage Assessment Team will begin surveying the are and reporting on the structures within the affected area. Fill out the form with all needed data to be notified in the future of updates on your address. https://forms.gle/iG4uejTRfEcHb47a7
