Local governments with damages to roads, bridges, or other infrastructure are asked to report as well. The best way to report infrastructure damages is by submitting via your county or municipal emergency manager.

If your home or business is damaged by flooding, be sure to report it at https://t.co/vWAPEdIrV1. Reporting online helps authorities understand the impact of damages and can help connect you to recovery resources.
