York County sends release regarding Solicitations, Damage done and Crisis Cleanup

York County has sent a release regarding the Crisis Cleanup and documents some of the damage done by the numbers. They also point out solicitations happening in County.

Here is the release::

 

The York County Office of Emergency Management, along with the York County Tax Assessors Office and York County Planning & Development Services, spent Tuesday April 23rd conducting assessments of the areas impacted the most by the storm. This assessment found five homes destroyed, 17 homes with major damage, and hundreds with minor damage. While there are very few impassable roads, there are multiple areas with large amounts of natural debris along the roadways.

The York County Office of Emergency Management has been working closely with numerous volunteer organizations. These organizations are active within the area conducting multiple different functions. Currently, more organizations are reaching out to assist with all aspects of recovery from the storm.

A major function of many of the volunteer groups is the cleanup of debris throughout our community. If you need assistance with debris removal, cutting fallen limbs or trees away from homes or vehicles, or tarps to cover roof damage, please call 803-250-3679.

Contracting Solicitations

York County Government has concerns about some contractors going door to door with business cards, trying to solicit your business following the storm. We encourage all property owners to work with reputable businesses who are licensed and insured in South Carolina. Look at customer reviews, check BBB ratings, compare estimates from multiple companies, and ask for estimates in writing.
