Governor
Ehrlich Signs Hurricane Isabel Relief Initiative
Emergency
Bill Allocates $7.5 Million in Emergency Assistance,
Ehrlich Also Establishes Isabel SWAT Team to Visit and
Assist Recovering Communities
ANNAPOLIS
-- Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., today signed into law
emergency
legislation to provide housing relief for victims of Hurricane
Isabel. This legislation establishes a new
emergency housing program, Hurricane
Isabel Rehabilitation and Renovation Program, providing
loan assistance to Marylanders to rebuild or renovate homes
damaged by the storm. Governor Ehrlich also
announced the establishment of a Cabinet SWAT Team, led by DHCD
Secretary Victor L. Hoskins, to coordinate and deliver financial
assistance for rebuilding and renovating homes, including any
required social services.
“This
emergency legislation will help Marylanders affected by Isabel
rebuild their homes and their lives,” said Governor Ehrlich.
“Many families have suffered great property loss, displacement,
and financial burden, with more than 200 families still living in
temporary housing. They need more assistance
from the State and today they’re getting it. In
addition to the $7.5 million in loan assistance, my cabinet has
created an Isabel SWAT Team to visit and assist recovering
communities throughout Maryland,” Governor Ehrlich added.
The
SWAT Team’s goal is to process all applications for assistance
within 30 days of receipt from the applicant. Other
agencies participating are the Departments of Planning, Aging,
Human Resources, and the Governor’s Offices of Homeland Security
and Individuals with Disabilities. The SWAT
Team is expected to begin visiting recovering communities this
week.
The
loan assistance program, effective today through May 31, 2005,
will fill the gap not covered by insurance or other financial
resources, including the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), or
the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Eligible
applicants must already be seeking financial assistance to rebuild
or renovate a home damaged by Hurricane Isabel. Governor Ehrlich
has allocated $7.5 million in State and Federal housing resources
to the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD)
to administer the new housing program.
“Just
prior to the passing of this bill, under the direction of the
Governor, our housing team began interviewing Hurricane Isabel
victims in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil and Dorchester
counties,” said DHCD Secretary Victor L. Hoskins. “The
Governor is determined to get these victims the assistance they
need as quickly as possible. Our Department’s
goal, with the assistance of the Cabinet SWAT team, is to
turn-around the loan applications within 30 days of receipt.
We are absolutely committed to getting these Marylanders
the assistance they need to get their lives back on track,”
Hoskins added.

Dear
Neeld Estate,
Thanks so much for the site and for the info on the website and the
photos of the storm. I am sending you additional photos I took on Friday
morning. We own the badly damaged house at 2827 Beach drive. My Great
Grandfather built it in the 30's and my Uncle Eddie and Aunt Eddie lived
there for many years -- through the 70's. In the 80's my Grandparents --
the Kennedy's owned the place and it was handed down to My mom and her
sister (the late) Ann Rebstock. Now Mom - Judy McBride, Rullell and
Patrick (Me) McBride own it. We have many cherished memories of our time
in Neeld Estate. While we lost a home with some sentimental memories,
Linda Fadely our tenant lost many of her possessions. It was great to
know that no one got hurt. Best of luck to everyone there. We will
rebuild!
Sincerely,
Patrick McBride -- patrick.mcbride@comcast.net

Calvert
County Government
PERMIT
PROCESSES FOR EMERGENCY REPAIRS
DUE TO HURRICANE ISABEL
9/25/03
Recognizing
the hardships created by Hurricane Isabel, Calvert County Government is
putting in place the simplest permit processes possible for making
repairs.
- Interior/Exterior
Structure Repair & Structure Replacement (no expansion).
Repair of wind or water
damage to structures will require only a building permit. Inspections
& Permits will have in place a fast-track permit process on
Tuesday and Thursday until April 1st, 2004, with the goal
of giving same day approvals. The fast-track approval process applies
only to repairs and in-kind replacement in the same location required
due to storm damage. If the structure is in the 100-year flood plain,
FEMA flood plain regulations apply. In some cases structures may need
to be elevated to meet Federal requirements. NO COUNTY PERMIT FEE WILL
BE APPLIED.
Expansion or
Relocation.
If new pilings are not
required, simple repairs may proceed without a County permit.
- Pier and Bulkhead
Structural Replacements.
A permit from Maryland
Department of the Environment (MDE) may be required before a County
permit is issued. Contact MDE (410-414-3400) to determine if a state
permit will also be required.
- Tree Removal in the
Critical Area.
Any trees damaged by the storm
that endangers a person or property may be removed immediately. A photo
of the tree must be taken prior to the tree removal. Trees severely
damaged by the storm may be removed without a permit as long as there is
no grading involved and a photo is mailed to the Department of Planning
& Zoning at 150 Main Street, Prince Frederick, MD 20678. The
property owner’s name, telephone number and property address should be
included with the photos.
Moving beach sand back to
pre-storm conditions will not require a County permit if done manually.
If machinery is used, then a County grading permit will be required.
Prior to beginning work, contact MDE (410-414-3400) to determine if any
additional permit will be required.
County Storm Clean-up Days are
October 1st and October 2nd.
Contact the County Hot Line for information at 410-535-0314 or
410-535-0396.

Maryland OnLine Photos - (they removed the photos from the
web) Plum Point is located in Calvert County on the Chesapeake Bay. It
is located a few miles south of Chesapeake Beach. It was among the
hardest hit areas in Southern Maryland. We had so many good photos
from this area that we placed them in their own category.
