Local officials are asking residents who experienced damage during the recent winter storms to report it using the community’s Self-Report Damage Tool. The city or county emphasizes that, at this time, individual assistance from FEMA is not available.
However, officials say that collecting damage reports is crucial. More reports could strengthen the case for federal aid in the future. Residents are encouraged to take a few minutes to complete the online form at https://www.msema.org/report-damage.
A short video with step-by-step instructions on how to fill out the application is available to assist residents. Officials thank the community for helping advocate for the resources needed to recover from the storm.
