Please Report Your Damages!

Following a disaster, local emergency officials survey damages by completing damage assessments of the community.

These damage assessments can take time to compile and are used by emergency officials to obtain funding to help impacted communities recover.

When impacted communities report in, it gives emergency officials a more accurate picture of the extent of damage.

Self-reporting helps expedite the damage assessment process as well as provides data that could result in more funding opportunities to aid survivors in recovery.
