As a reminder, Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is collecting damage information from the recent storms and encourages you to fill out forms available online and below.
By reporting damage, you are NOT applying for assistance. The information will help the State of Maine estimate the full impact of the storm and unlock the maximum amount of potential Federal support available.
If the damage from these storms meets the financial statutory threshold exceeding the State’s ability to respond, Governor Mills will seek another Federal Disaster Declaration – in addition to the one she recently requested.
If you have experienced damages as a result of the storms you are encouraged to report those damages by filling out one of the survey forms below.
- Individuals & Households Initial Damage Assessment: Online Survey or PDF form.
- Business and Agriculture Initial Damage Assessment: Online Survey
For people who do not have internet access or are not comfortable filling out the survey themselves, they may dial 2-1-1 and an operator will help them do that.
MEMA is also collecting this information via a survey on their website where you can click on the Report Damage button under Current Alerts on the homepage.
While MEMA has asked that impacted parties report the damage from the January 10th storm by January 18th, and from the January 13th storm by today, January 22nd they recognize that some who have been impacted by the storms have not been able to access the forms or fill them out and will accept those damage reports through January 31st.
Visit Governor Mills’ online Maine Flood and Assistance Hub for resources and information.
Visit MEMA’s website for up-to-date information on storm preparedness.
We will continue to provide updates on damage assessment efforts and any other initiatives to seek support for coastal communities.
