CAMBRIDGE - Crisis Cleanup, in partnership with Maryland VOAD and MDEM, have developed a process for submitting unmet needs and other residential damages following the Chesapeake Bay Tidal Flooding event on Oct. 28-30.

Local jurisdictions and impacted residents can call 410-449-5415 to request assistance. This hotline will remain open through Nov. 19.

The Crisis Cleanup team will then collect the information and work to connect those in need to the appropriate resources, such as volunteers from local relief organizations, community groups and faith communities who may be able to assist with:

"Mucking and Gutting" of flooded houses

Limited removal of fallen trees

Drywall, flooring and appliance removal

Tarping roofs

Mold remediation

Minor repairs

“In events like this, we have found that voluntary organizations are the fastest and most efficient way to get help to residents in need. We strongly encourage that you utilize the services of VOAD and Crisis Cleanup during this recovery,” a statement from Dorchester Department of Emergency Services said. “All services are free, but services may not be guaranteed due to the level of need.”
