​FLOOD INFORMATION FOR: Residents and Businesses
Using this easy tool below will allow us to gather damages quickly and efficiently and help guide what necessary next steps there may be for business and home owners. Please push the link below out to as many residents that you can and post on social media. This will give us a list for the damage assessment team to go door to door. Home owners really need to file a claim with their home owners insurance and get that denial letter. That will help them with funds from FEMA.

The Town of Colton, established in 1843, is, geographically, one of the largest towns in New York State.  Within the southeast part of St. Lawrence County is the Town of Colton, straddling the boundary of the Adirondack Park.  From the two hamlets of Colton and South Colton the town rises to meet the beautiful and scenic wilds of the Adirondacks. 

The town is blessed with natural resources and scenic beauty, including the Raquette River which flows from the southern to the northern end on its way to the St. Lawrence River.  Seven lakes have been formed by dams along the river, providing recreation for boaters and anglers as well as power generation to help support all of New York.  And hikers, campers, snowmobilers and others  enjoy the many miles of trails maintained by public and private entities throughout town all seasons of the year.
                
With strong civic pride, an excellent school, a range of municipal facilities plus well-maintained public highways providing access to nearby business , shopping and education centers it is no wonder that Colton is a great place to live, work and play.
