THERE IS STILL TIME TO SUBMIT YOUR FLOOD DAMAGE

If your home, business, property, or other structure was impacted by the recent flooding in Delaware County, please submit your damage information as soon as possible.

Reporting your damage is an important part of the recovery process. Information submitted by residents helps local officials identify impacted areas and guides official damage assessment efforts conducted in coordination with local, state, and federal officials.

Even if you have already contacted your insurance company or begun cleanup and repairs, we encourage you to submit your damage information.

Submit your flood damage here:
delawarecounty.in.gov/submitdamage

Please share this information with friends, family, and neighbors who may have experienced flood damage.

Important: Submitting damage information does not guarantee financial assistance, but it helps provide officials with a more complete picture of the disaster's impact on Delaware County, which is essential for securing state and federal aid.
