🚨 IMPORTANT: FLOOD DAMAGE REPORTING

Businesses and residents are encouraged to report ALL flood-related damages, even if the damage may seem minor.

📸 If possible, document the damage with photos and keep records of repairs and expenses.

Reporting your damage helps officials understand the full extent of the flooding and its impact on our community. This information can help support requests for state and federal assistance and potential future funding.

Please share this post with your neighbors, friends, family, and local businesses so we can make sure as many affected properties as possible are counted.

Every report matters. Every property counts. Our community needs to be heard. ❤️🏘️🏢

This survey is utilized after a disaster to collect self reported damages from survivors.
