WOODSTOCK, Ill. – If your McHenry County home or property was damaged by the April 17-18 severe weather, or by the ongoing flooding (through April 30), the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency is asking you to fill out a brief online survey.

Reporting your damage directly affects how much assistance McHenry County can receive. State and federal agencies use damage data to determine eligibility for disaster assistance programs – the more complete the data, the stronger a case McHenry County can make for receiving federal and state recovery dollars to help affected people. Early and accurate reporting can shorten the time for assistance approval and helps prioritize resources and recovery efforts to the hardest-hit areas.

The survey will take between 10 and 15 minutes. It is not monitored in real time and is for non-emergency reporting only. If you have an emergency, call 911. If you are in need of non-emergency services related to storm or flood damage, call 211, or contact your municipal or township government.
