USACE’s Operation Blue Roof contractors Installs Final Blue Roof in Florida
Operation Blue Roof Recipient Mark Arena, an Army Vietnam Veteran, received the last Blue Roof Install on his home Poinciana, Fla. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers commemorated the last day of Operation Blue Roof construction Nov. 19, 2024, in Poinciana, Fla, marking the end of Operation Blue Roof in Florida that provided temporary roofing protection to homes damaged by Hurricane Milton in 25 counties. The program covered 8,296 roofs, installing about 100 acres of reinforced, industrial-strength sheeting, providing a temporary solution that allowed homeowners to remain in their homes until they can make permanent repairs. Operation Blue Roof, assigned by FEMA and managed by USACE, is a no-cost, free service for homeowners. (USACE video by Mark Rankin)
