Mississippi Emergency Management Agency urges residents to report storm damage

Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is urging residents affected by recent flooding to take action to document storm damage. The agency recommends filing insurance claims, taking photos of damaged property, and reporting damage through its self-report tool.

Residents can access the online reporting form by clicking a link provided on MEMA’s website. They are asked to select their county and fill out the form to report damage. MEMA emphasizes that this report is not an application for assistance.

The agency has not announced specific aid programs related to the flooding but encourages residents to document their damage as part of the recovery process.
