Damage in Englishtown Must be Reported to Borough Hall

If you live or work in Englishtown and your home or business was damaged from Hurricane Irene this past weekend, the borough would like you to report the damage, and follow these instructions:

1. Contact your insurance company

2. Contact Borough Hall at (732)-446-9235, or e-mail crobbins@englishtownnj.com and include the following information:

• Name
• Address
• Contact Information, including home telephone # and cell phone #
• Description of damage
• Estimate of total cost of damage 

The borough is adamant that even if the wreckage can be covered completely by your insurance company, the report must still be sent in to the .

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires Englishtown to report the total amount of damage the Borough of Englishtown accumulated during the storm. This must be done so that Monmouth County can be declared as a disaster area and the borough can see the benefit of federal funds being released to Englishtown and other neighboring towns. 

After the damage is reported to the borough, a phone call will be made to you to set up a suitable time for an inspector to survey the damage on your home or business. This inspector is distinct from the one who performed an inspection for your insurance company. 

Once the inspection is complete, instructions will be given to you in the mail on how to begin receiving a possible reimbursement from FEMA for damages. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Englishtown Municipal Building at (732)-446-9235.
