Help for people regarding flood related damages

from the email this morning:

Good Morning HPL,

Welcome back. I hope you and your families are safe and were not affected too badly from the storms and floods we experienced in our City and surrounding areas on yesterday. If you need assistance because you have been affected by the weather you can apply through the HPL  JI Fund.  Check with your supervisor for details about how to apply.

Please be safe and use caution as you travel around the city today as many areas still have standing water and there may be  items in the streets. Supervisors and managers should assess their buildings and report any damages right away to the SPACES team.  Deputy Director Roosevelt Weeks has distributed the form you will need to complete.

If community residents ask where they should call for help with their weather related problems, advise them to call the City’s 311 number.

Take good care everybody and have a great day.

EDIT: I forgot to mention there might be an extension for those people that needed to fill their tax documents yesterday, I'll try to keep you posted on that.  ~Hector

Warm Regards,
