Virgin Islands residents with roof damage are encouraged to register for the Operation Blue Roof program to determine eligibility.
Operation Blue Roof, which assists eligible homeowners with temporary roof repairs, is a program the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) tasks the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to implement. This program is currently available at no cost to eligible primary homeowners in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Residents must complete the Right of Entry (ROE) form that allows government employees and contractors onto their property to assess damage and install a temporary covering.
Free assistance with completing the ROE form, and registration can be completed seven days a week, unless otherwise stated at the following locations throughout the Virgin Islands. In addition, USACE Quality Assurance teams, wearing red USACE shirts, are currently conducting assessments throughout various neighborhoods. If you see the staff in your neighborhood, please inquire about the program and the eligibility of your roof.
