Recover From Disaster
Recovering from a disaster can be a complex process. All disasters are different and the needs of those impacted by the same event can vary greatly. Not all resources are available for all events, and other event-specific resources may become available.
If your home or business has received significant damages from a natural or other community disaster, report it to local public safety and county emergency management officials as soon as possible. You may report it by completing our online/mobile self-report form or by calling 218-998-8067.
