The clean-up process is continuing in Athens after Tropical Storm Irma. County leaders are asking property owners to report damage.
With the response phase over in Clarke County, the area is now In the recovery phase. County assessors are trying to determine the extent of the damage. County manager Blaine Williams says homeowners are asked to contact county government officials for the possibility of state and federal financial assistance.
“We are trying to deal with FEMA to get a damage assessment,” Williams said. “We are reaching out to private homeowners, if your property has been damaged you need to contact our emergency management administrator to submit your information. There may be an opportunity for some reimbursement.”
Williams says he and others in his neighbor were without power for three days.
