Larry Massing, the Martin County Building Department Director, and the Martin County Red Cross for joining forces along with the Property Appraiser office to provide damage assessment in the event of a disaster. This team is one of the first responders in the event of a disaster. The county uses the data to estimate the amount of damage to buildings. This damage estimate is used to quickly qualify for the county for a disaster declaration by the Federal government, so that our county and its’ citizens are eligible to receive government aid. The Red Cross uses the same data to identify areas needing immediate assistance, so they know where to send mobile feeding units, water, ice and cleaning materials. We believe this is a partnership unique to the entire state!
