The City of Moore collected information from citizens during the month of October for the local Safe Room Rebate program. The State of Oklahoma is still accepting registrations at www.soonersafe.ok.gov.

It is the desire of the City to assist persons who are in Moore to have a place to seek refuge from severe weather.  To this end, the City is gathering interest forms as the first step in applying for a hazard mitigation grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  We intend to apply for 2 million dollars in FEMA funding which will assist approximately 800 Moore homeowners.

This particular rebate program is for residential homes.  Rental and/or commercial properties are not eligible. If a homeowner is chosen for the program and the City is successful in securing FEMA funding, the homeowner will be eligible to receive up to $2500 in rebate upon installation and verification of final paperwork.

All registration will be completed online at the website www.soonersafe.ok.gov.  This is the website for the State of Oklahoma’s Sooner Safe program; all persons who live in Moore and register prior to November 1st will be eligible for both the State program and the City of Moore’s program.  If needed, assistance in registering may be provided at Moore City Hall, 301 N. Broadway, during normal business hours.

In addition, Cleveland County is offering a safe room rebate program as well.  Registration for their program can be accomplished at www.ccok.us.  Note that this is a separate program from the City of Moore program and the State program, and requires a separate registration.  Homeowners are urged to register for Cleveland County’s program as well as the State’s and the City of Moore’s.

Information concerning the City of Moore Safe Room Rebate Program may be found online at the City’s website, www.cityofmoore.com.
