If your home was impacted by the recent flooding, please take a few minutes to complete this damage report as soon as possible and include photos if you are able.
We know a form does not begin to address what many of you are dealing with right now. This is one of several avenues the City is pursuing to help affected residents as we work with our partners at the county, state, and federal levels. It is not an application for assistance, and it is not the only effort underway.
Because this process is moving quickly, it is very important that affected residents complete the form as soon as possible. Documenting the full extent of the damage in our community will help ensure that every available option for assistance can be pursued.
If you were impacted and need help completing the report, or need assistance with anything else related to the flooding, please contact Wes Dodds, Service-Safety Director. We will do everything we can to help.
