Will County Residents and Businesses - Take the Damage Assessment Survey

Will County Residents and Business Owners: The Will County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has launched a damage assessment survey for those who have been impacted by the severe weather on July 15, 2024. The survey will support the ongoing EMA efforts to visually assess personal property, businesses, and public infrastructure damage throughout the county.

The survey will help local emergency management officials gain a better understanding of property damage and will aid in determining eligibility for any possible assistance for the region. The survey is voluntary, does not substitute reporting damage to an insurance company, and does not guarantee any disaster relief assistance.
