<font style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>A FEMA housing inspection for renters is used to assess personal property loss and for owners to assess damage to their home as well as personal property. This inspection is done to determine eligibility for FEMA Individual Assistance. For both rental and owner inspections, if the property has flood damage the inspector measures the height of the flooding. They indicate the highest floor of the flooding (for example, Basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, etc…) and the extent of the flooding in that room. In addition, for the units without flooding, HUD has estimated minor/major/severe damage based on the damage inspection estimates for real property (owner) and personal property (renter).</font><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><font size='3' style='font-family:inherit;'><br /></font></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><font size='3' style='font-family:inherit;'>In an effort to maintain the confidentiality of residents this file only presents data on block groups with ten or more damaged housing units.

These data reflect Hurricane Sandy damage in the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. These data are incomplete, as each day there are additional registrants and inspections. This should be a viewed as a preliminary snapshot to assist with planning.</font></div><div style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'></div><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><font size='3' style='font-family:inherit;'><br /></font></p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><font size='3' style='font-family:inherit;'>To learn more about HUD's long-term recovery efforts for victims of Hurricane Sandy visit: <a href='https://www.hud.gov/sandyrebuilding' style='color:rgb(0, 97, 155); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'><b>https://www.hud.gov/sandyrebuilding</b></a></font>, for questions about the spatial attribution of this dataset, please reach out to us at <a href='mailto:GISHelpdesk@hud.gov' style='color:rgb(0, 97, 155); text-decoration-line:none;' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'><b>GISHelpdesk@hud.gov</b></a>. </p>
