New Building Collapse Data Collection System

A new online data collection system has been installed on our web site for local officials to use to report building collapses. Although the bulk of the snow has receded, we are expecting more reports to come into the office as seasonal residences are inspected for the first time since last summer. The system was created as a result of the large snow fall amounts that we received in 2007-2008. If you are a local building official, fire official or emergency management director and have not received the access link, please contact our office at 271-3294
