Riverhead Town, working with the Suffolk County Office of Emergency Management, is collecting information from residents and businesses that sustained damage during the severe storm that swept through the area July 4.
The town is asking anyone in Riverhead who incurred damage to a home or business to complete an online damage assessment survey created by New York State. The survey is intended to help state and local officials document storm-related damage and support possible requests for federal assistance, according to a media release issued today by the Riverhead Town Police Department.
The form is for information-gathering purposes only, officials said. Completing it does not guarantee that relief funding will be available.
The survey can be completed online here:

The July 4 storm brought severe wind and weather to multiple areas of Suffolk County, including parts of Riverhead Town, causing downed trees, utility damage and widespread power outages.
Officials said the information submitted through the online form will be sent directly to New York State.
