Horry County officials are assessing the damage to both residential and commercial structures to determine the impact of Hurricane Florence.
The evaluation plays a critical role in acquiring the federal financial assistance to assist the region’s disaster recovery efforts.
“Reaching all of the impacted areas, however, becomes more difficult as flooding continues. To ensure planning efforts are based on a comprehensive data regarding storm and flood impacts, Horry County officials are requesting that citizens report their property damage information from Hurricane Florence and the current flood event,” a press release from the county says.
Horry County has a new property damage self-reporting tool that allows owners and renters to inform the county of the location, owner, extent of damage and status of the affected property. The data and photos reported will help the county assess the impact of Hurricane Florence.
Homeowners who have experienced property damage are encouraged to contact FEMA directly to determine if they are eligible for financial assistance. You can also call the registration phone number at 1(800) 621-3362. Those with a speech disability or hearing loss may use TTY by calling 1(800) 462-7585.
