Greater Danbury area towns have submitted preliminary storm damage assessments to the state Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security. 

The Department will compile the information and present it to the Governor, who will then prepare a formal request for a Disaster Declaration from the President.  That declaration would detail both the amount of aid, and the type of aid to be made available by FEMA.

A Town Meeting is being held in New Fairfield tonight about allocating money from the general fund for storm damage clean up.  The appropriation is up to $750,000.  Any money that New Fairfield receives from FEMA, if a federal declaration is made, would then go into the General Fund. 

Tonight's meeting is at 7:30 in the Community Room.
