State officials call for winter storm damage to be reported in order to qualify for additional federal funding.
As Oklahoma begins assessing the damage caused by the historic winter storms, it is critical for businesses and individuals to report all winter storm damage so as to qualify for individual assistance by meeting minimum damage amounts.
Oklahomans are asked to document and report damages sustained, including but not limited to, flooding from broken pipes, power surges that caused damage to furnaces, electrical systems or major appliances, number of days without utilities, number of days displaced, and any injuries sustained as a result of the winter storm. State officials are asking that all damage be reported to damage.ok.gov.
“Any and all damage sustained from the storms must be reported,” said ORWA Deputy CEO, Jimmy Seago. “It is critical for us to provide a thorough and accurate assessment of all damage so we can qualify for the proper level of federal assistance.”
