How to get sidewalks fixed

Dear Neighbor,
As part of the City’s FEMA-Eligible Roadway and Sidewalk Overflow Patching
Services Project, representatives from the Department of Public Works and
FEMA walked the minor streets of New Orleans to identify damage caused by
the debris removal process; however, there may be damages that were not
identified.
After using the web-based map to identify repairs in your area, if you believe
damage caused during the debris removal process is not included, use the
Additional Damage Report on the next page to alert us.
To complete the form:
1. Date: Fill in the date you are submitting the Additional Damage Report.
2. Neighborhood: Include the neighborhood where the damage is located.
3. Inspector: Include the name of the inspector for the neighborhood where
the damage is located, if known.
4. Resident Information: Fill in your name, address and phone number. It is
required that this information is included on the form. A City and/or FEMA
representative may need to contact you for more information.
5. Description: Include the exact location of the damage. For example:
“The damage is located at 1340 Poydras Street on the sidewalk to the
west of the property.” Please be as detailed as possible when describing
the damage to eliminate confusion when inspectors assess the damage.
6. Documentation: Provide as many before and after photographs or other
documentation of the damage.
7. Photograph Number and Description: Attach all photographs with
numbers and descriptions when submitting the Additional Damage Report
form to the City.
Once the form is completed, send the form, photos and other documentation to:
Kensley Evans
1340 Poydras Street, Suite 1420
New Orleans, LA 70112
The Department of Public Works will submit the information provided to a FEMA
representative for further evaluation. The FEMA representative will be
responsible for determining whether the repair of the identified damage will be
included in the project.
