Storm Damage?
The following information is from the
Pierce County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) Website:
The Pierce County Department of Emergency Management is collecting damage information from home and business owners affected by severe winter weather since mid-December. Resident and businesses are asked to report damages by calling 1-866-798-6363 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Callers should have the following information available:
Names and address of affected property,
Type of insurance (homeowners) and deductible amount,
Description of damage, even if uninsured,
Personal estimate of uninsured losses, and
Estimated fair market value of damaged home or business.
It is not necessary for home and business owners to obtain a contractor's estimate. Finding from this assessment will aid the Governor in requesting a disaster declaration and federal disaster assistance from the President.

Please note that this request for damage information is not limited to the recent flooding. The series of storm systems that have struck our area have created a set of circumstances that have combined to create our current situation. If your home or business has sustained measurable weather-related damage during the specified time frame, it is important that you report to the DEM in order that they may accurately measure the extent of the damage to the community as a whole, and request an appropriate level of emergency relief from the federal government.
