Dear Mr. Fish,
I am writing to request that FEMA provide me repetitive loss summary data for the City of Northampton (Community Panel #250167-0001 and -0002).
Summaries shall include mitigated and non-mitigated records showing total building payments, contentspayments, total payments, average payments, and total number of claims, along with
the addresses of specific claims.
We would like this information to include in our yearly notice letters to people living in the floodplain and in repetitive loss areas. I am requesting the above information be provided
pursuant to the “routine use” provision of the Privacy Act of1974, 5 U.S.C.522a. I am requesting disclosure of this information under Routine Use (T) to community
officials and representatives to provide repetitive loss records of properties within that community.
Only information that has no identifier information will be used in our notices. My office will not furtherdisclose additional information to other entities or use the information for
any other purpose than stated above. The applicant information will be protected in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974. Once the personally
identifiable information is used for the purposes above, the further transmission of these date files, electronic
and paper, will cease and the personal information contained therein will be destroyed.
