The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers used enough blue roof material to cover LSU's Tiger Field 1,000 times during Operation Blue Roof in support of FEMA Hurricane Ida recovery efforts in southern Louisiana. Check out this video to learn more!
The goal of the Blue Roof program is to provide homeowners in disaster areas with fiber-reinforced, industrial-strength sheeting to protect storm-damaged roofs until homeowners can make permanent repairs.
This program is a no-cost service for homeowners. Operation Blue Roof is designed to protect property, reduces temporary housing costs, and allow survivors to remain in their homes while recovering from the storm.
The Blue Roof program is for primary residences or a permanently occupied rental property with less than 50 percent of the roof structure damage to ensure the safe installation of the blue roof. Before installing a blue roof, the resident must certify property ownership and verify someone will occupy it after installation. The home must be structurally sound. Vacation rental properties are not eligible for this program. Flat roofs, roofs made of clay, slate, or asbestos tile do not qualify for the Blue Roof program.
