Naugatuck asks residents, businesses to report flood damage [Video]

NAUGATUCK, CT (WFSB) – The Borough of Naugatuck requested reports on damage to commercial and residential properties.

Naugatuck and surrounding towns were impacted on Sunday by at least 10 inches of rain that quickly fell.

Severe flooding caused significant destruction. It washed away foundations and rendered at least six homes uninhabitable.

As a result, officials said they are collecting information to determine if Naugatuck is eligible for federal post-disaster programs.

They said the reports are crucial for the county’s efforts to receive funding. New Haven County was listed in Gov. Ned Lamont’s request to President Joe Biden for federal assistance.

If financial assistance becomes available, residents would be notified.

However, the process does not guarantee disaster relief assistance and should not replace reporting damage to homeowners’ insurance agencies.
