Advice to help fill out Right-of-Entry
• Homeowners should be encouraged to list septic tanks, leach fields, survey monuments, cesspools, gravesites, or any other important structures when doing their ROE drawing.
• If property owners are unsure about the eligibility of material/items on their property or would like to keep certain items, it would be helpful to specify the material/item they would like to keep or specifically have removed from their property.
• Certain items may require additional eligibility determinations for removal, so when in doubt, it's better to document. For example, if the homeowner has an above-ground, fiberglass pool that was melted during the fire but is held up by a retaining wall, it would be beneficial to them to note that they would like the pool and retaining wall to be removed.
