Clark County’s Office of Emergency Management has set up a recorded message line for property owners to call to report flood damage from this week’s storms. Callers are being asked to leave a message with their name, address and telephone number. They also should describe flood damage that has occurred inside their property or report significant amounts of debris flow outside their property that will require resources to remove.
The Flood Damage Hotline is: (702) 455-5717.
County officials emphasize that the hotline has been established for the purpose of receiving reports about flood-related property damage due to the Sept. 8 storms, not to request debris removal assistance.
“Reports made to the recorded message line are to assist in our local damage assessment efforts,” said Clark County spokesperson Stacey Welling. “This information will help us determine what forms of federal and state assistance the community may be eligible for as a result of this week’s storms.”
Yesterday, the team assessing damage in the Moapa Valley area found 48 houses in Overton with some degree of damage ranging from large amounts of debris flow outside properties to water and mud damage inside homes, from a few inches to several feet in some cases. The team also toured Logandale yesterday but won’t have any preliminary number on properties visited until today. The group will be touring Moapa today. They plan to visit both Moapa and the Moapa Band of Paiutes reservation. The team consisted of about 12 people, including county staff, citizens and five representatives from the state of Nevada’s Emergency Management Division.
