USACE aims to provide homeowners in disaster areas with fiber-reinforced sheeting to cover their damaged roofs until
permanent repairs are made through the Operation Blue Roof program. This program is a free service to homeowners
and protects property, reduces temporary housing costs, and allows residents to remain in their homes while recovering
from a storm. The deadline to apply for this service is Oct. 15.

This program is for primary residences or a permanently occupied rental property with less than 50 percent structural
damage. Vacation rental properties are not eligible for this program. Flat roofs or roofs made of clay, slate or asbestos
tile do not qualify. All storm debris must be removed for the roof to qualify.

Homeowners can visit Blueroof.us to apply. Here, homeowners can sign up for Blue Roof assistance using a Right of
Entry form, which gathers information about your residence. The ROE form is a legal document that allows USACE
workers to access your property and assess your home’s damage. The ROE also allows contracted crews to work on your
roof. To cancel your ROE, residents must send an email to roe-cancel@usace.army.mil, call 888-Roof BLU (888-766-
3258) or visit Blueroof.us

Residents can call toll free 1-888-ROOF-BLU (1-888-766-3258) for more information regarding this program.
