Flooding Damage Assessment Information

As for private citizens, we are asking them to contact the Chickasaw County Assessor’s Office at 641-392-2813. Ray Armel has worked with us previously on damage assessment and is prepared to handle those calls. People are being asked to document with photos, estimates and receipts. It’s not unheard of but unlikely that Chickasaw County will qualify for FEMA Individual Assistance, this number will be influenced by neighboring counties as well. The threshold is based on flooding levels into the main level of a residence (more or less the number of inches at the front door), most homes experienced basement flooding and will not be included in damages for FEMA aid.
If you need assistance with any flood damage you can call RAPID RESPONSE Services. They will help you clean up. This is a free service. They have been to Alta Vista and Elma helping.

You can call 1-330-473-9558 for assistance. I have pamphlet in City Hall if you would like to look at it.

 

Thank you,

Suzette Byrne
