The Frederick County Emergency Management Division cautions
residents about possible scams that may occur during clean-up after recentfloods.
People
may stop by or call to offer services to assess or repair damage, posing asgovernment officials with promises of disaster funds or soliciting donations
for charity. In any of these cases, do not give money or personalinformation unless it is clear the person is a legitimate service provider.
A
common scam after a disaster is the promise of disaster grants. There iscurrently no government money available. If assistance does become
available, information will be well advertised in local media, on the county’ssocial media accounts and on the flood recovery webpage, www.FrederickCountyMD.gov/Recovery.
