A plurality of strip assemblies may be assembled linearly and/or at ninety degrees. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation, comprising at least one strip assembly, which has a top face having a top cut out and a top cut out face, and a bottom face having a bottom cut out, a bottom cut out face, and a retaining strip, wherein said at least one strip assembly secures a tarp on a roof, said at least one strip assembly further comprises first and second side edges, first and second ends, and first and second bottom cut out side edges, said top face comprises first and second upper edges, a first face having a first predetermined angle is defined between said first side edge and said first upper edge, and a second face having a second predetermined angle is defined between said second side edge and said second upper edge, wherein said first predetermined angle and said second predetermined angle are approximately the same. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said top cut out face comprises first and second top cut out side edges and at least one top cut out face hole. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 2, further characterized in that said at least one strip assembly comprises at least one hole. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 3, further characterized in that said bottom face further comprises at least one retaining ring. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 4, further characterized in that said at least one retaining ring is positioned around a respective of said at least one hole and said at least one top cut out face hole. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 4, further characterized in that said retaining strip protrudes from said bottom face a first predetermined distance, and said at least one retaining ring protrudes from said bottom face a second predetermined distance, wherein said first predetermined distance and said second predetermined distance are approximately the same. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said retaining strip is positioned along a perimeter of said bottom face and extends from said first end to said bottom cut out. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said retaining strip protrudes from said bottom face and is adjacent to said first and second side edges, said first end, and said bottom cut out. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 5, further characterized in that said bottom cut out face comprises said at least one bottom cut out face hole. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said top cut out face and said bottom cut out face are square shaped. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said top cut out face has a first predetermined area and said bottom cut out face has a second predetermined area, wherein said first predetermined area and said second predetermined area are approximately the same. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of strip assemblies that may be assembled linearly and/or at ninety degrees. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that a first strip assembly overlaps with a second strip assembly, a second strip assembly overlaps with a third strip assembly, and so on, to fix said tarp on said roof. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 13, further characterized in that said bottom cut out face of said first strip assembly mounts onto said top cut out face of a respective said second strip assembly. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 9, further characterized in that said at least one bottom cut out face hole of a first strip assembly aligns with said at least one top cut out hole face of a second strip assembly. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 13, further characterized in that said bottom cut out face mounts onto a respective said top cut out face, whereby said first strip assembly and said second strip assembly are positioned in a straight line. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installation set forth in claim 13, further characterized in that said bottom cut out face mounts onto a respective said top cut out face, whereby said first strip assembly and said second strip assembly are positioned perpendicularly.
