 In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is offering help to Florida residents with a program called “Operation Blue Roof,” which provides fiber-reinforced tarps to homeowners to cover damaged roofs until they can arrange repairs.
– The Army Corps of Engineers has a helpful program in place called Operation Blue Roof in which Florida residents hit by Hurricane Irma can get sturdy tarps to protect their belongings until their roofs get fixed. Those interested can go to the website or call 1-888-ROOF-BLU. They should not, however, call the 1-800 version of that number inadvertently tweeted by FEMA—unless they'd prefer to talk to "hot ladies" on "America's hottest talk line" who presumably know little about roof tarps, reports Consumerist. The tweet is now down and a corrected version is up.
