CONCORD - State officials have asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to conduct an assessment for Hillsborough and Merrimack Counties for damage caused by this weekend’s flash floods.

“Heavy rains from Tropical Storm Hannah caused significant damage to roads and other infrastructure in the City of Manchester and other areas. The state has asked FEMA to conduct damage assessments to determine whether federal assistance can be made available,” Gov. Lynch said.

Public assistance offered through FEMA helps the state and communities cover emergency operations, debris removal and repair costs. Assistance will cover some, but not usually all costs of the damage.

The State continues with work with communities and individuals impacted by severe weather.

People with flood-related questions or concerns can call the state’s information line at 1-888-330-6764.
