HBLB cautions consumers for potential post-hurricane scams
In the wake of Hurricane Zeta, the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board (HBLB) cautions consumers of the potential for scams, fraud, and incompetent work during post-storm damage cleanup, repair, and rebuilding, and encourages consumers to use licensed home builders as required by law.

Debris Pick Up Update
It is understandable that residents are frustrated by debris that has not been picked up. Please be aware that contractors are working 6 days a week to collect it.

Already, they have collected approximately 560,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris. That would cover 100 football fields, 3-feet high.
