Repair Information
The City of Houston just sent out its flood repair information, which we have posted HERE. It contains the most update information about what requires a permit (and what doesn’t) and has an extensive FAQ to help you through the process.
 
Useful Resources
We found these useful guides and checklists on a disaster recovery organization’s website. We thought they were very well done, so we wanted to share them with you. You may also share them with your clients, as appropriate.

Be Cautious of Scams
Unfortunately, the worst in people can sometimes come out during times of tragedy. Scammers are coming out of the woodwork, whether it is “repair” people coming and knocking on your door, {by phone - calling you by your first name, as if they know you personally}, or online scammers, please be very cautious during this time. It  is easy to let our guard down during times of extreme stress.
