Lean estos consejos de nuestro Departamento de Policía de Pasadena para asegurarse de que está protegido cuando trabaje con contratistas en estos tiempos de catástrofe, y en cualquier otro momento.Se ha informado al Departamento de Policía de Pasadena que algunos contratistas ya están intentando estafar a las víctimas del tornado. Si bien la mayoría de los contratistas tienen buenas intenciones y son justos, algunos usan un evento catastrófico para estafar a las personas que el evento en sí ya ha victimizado. También entendemos que las personas más vulnerables en este momento son nuestros residentes mayores, y por favor verifique cómo están y ayúdelos a atravesar este momento difícil. Si recibe llamadas, mensajes de texto, correos electrónicos, golpes en su puerta o cualquier otra forma de solicitud de un contratista, verifique su información y no se sienta obligado u obligado a seleccionarlo como su contratista. Aquí hay más consejos al buscar un contratista:
***Obtenga todo por escrito. Deben detallarse el costo, el trabajo a realizar, los cronogramas, las garantías, los cronogramas de pago y otras expectativas.
***Obtén más de un presupuesto.
***Exige referencias y compruébalas.
***Pida ver la licencia de conducir del contratista y anote el número de licencia y el número de placa de su vehículo.
***Nunca firme un contrato con espacios en blanco; los términos inaceptables se pueden agregar más adelante.
***Nunca pague a un contratista en su totalidad ni firme un certificado de finalización hasta que el trabajo esté terminado, y asegúrese de que la reconstrucción cumpla con el código actual.
***Asegúrese de revisar y comprender todos los documentos enviados a su compañía de seguros.
***Nunca permita que un contratista lo presione para que lo contrate.
***Nunca permita que un contratista interprete el lenguaje de la póliza de seguro.
***Nunca permita que un contratista lo desanime de comunicarse con su compañía de seguros. ... See moreSee less

Read these tips from our Pasadena Police Department to make sure your are protected when working with contractors in these times of disaster, and otherwise.The Pasadena Police Department has been made aware that some contractors are already attempting to scam tornado victims. While most contractors are well-intentioned and fair, some use a catastrophic event to scam people who the event itself has already victimized. We also understand that the most vulnerable people at this time are our elderly residents, and please check on them and help them navigate through this difficult time. If you are receiving calls, text messages, emails, knocks at your door, or any other form of solicitation from a contractor, please verify their information and don't feel obligated or compelled to select them as your contractor. Here are more tips when searching for a contractor:
***Get everything in writing. Cost, work to be done, time schedules, guarantees, payment schedules, and other expectations should be detailed.
***Get more than one estimate.
***Demand references and verify them.
***Ask to see the contractor's driver's license and write down the license number and their vehicle's license plate number.
***Never sign a contract with blanks; unacceptable terms can be added later.
***Never pay a contractor in full or sign a completion certificate until the work is finished, and ensure reconstruction is up to the current code.
***Make sure you review and understand all documents sent to your insurance carrier.
***Never let a contractor pressure you into hiring them.
***Never let a contractor interpret the insurance policy language.
***Never let a contractor discourage you from contacting your insurance company. ... See moreSee less

A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR JEFF WAGNER:
On Tuesday January 24,2023 at approximately 2:30PM an F3 tornado touched down in Pasadena with winds topping 140MPH and cutting a path of destruction over a half mile wide. As a result, hundreds of homes, businesses, structures, and vehicles were significantly damaged and lives were changed forever. In the midst of this chaos, first responders, City employees, churches and faith-based organizations, along with hundreds of volunteers continued to serve others. They worked long hours and performed extraordinarily despite many of their own properties being affected. I could not be more proud of how people responded to this crisis. We are blessed to have had no reports of serious injuries. It never ceases to amaze me how QUICKLY this community rolls up its collective “sleeves” and jumps in immediately to help a neighbor in need. We truly are Pasadena Strong! Thank you and God Bless you all!
In order to help our community continue to move forward in the recovery process, all currently closed city services will open up at their regularly scheduled times on Friday January 27, 2023, with the exception of the Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, which are still recovering. There are a few important details I DO want to share with you. First...
DEBRIS INSTRUCTIONS - ON WEDNESDAY, HARRIS COUNTY PCT 2 AGREED TO PROVIDE PASADENA WITH DEBRIS REMOVAL AND WE HAVE SUBMITTED THE NECESSARY REQUEST. WHILE WE ARE WAITING FOR THAT TO BEGIN, OUR SANITATION DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING OVERTIME ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS AT WASTE MANAGEMENT IN AN EFFORT TO PRIORITIZE AND PICK UP DEBRIS. PLEASE BE PATIENT AS MANY OF THESE SAME SANITATION EMPLOYEES’ PROPERTIES ALSO SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE YET THEY ARE STILL WORKING.
We received our requested State Declaration of Disaster, so reporting damages at the websites provided is extremely important! Please do so, as every damage amount entered helps support assistance for this area. For links, please visit our Tornado Recovery Resource page at www.pasadenatx.gov
IN CLOSING, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, I HAVE WAIVED ALL RESIDENTIAL PERMIT FEES FOR 120 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT THE DISASTER DECLARATION IS TERMINATED. ... See moreSee less
