Safety/Health Information

211 Reporting

Residents who experienced damage in the April 2026 storms should call 2-1-1 or go to https://211wisconsin.communityos.org/damage-report  to report home, farm, property, or business damage or flooding. 

Reporting damage does not guarantee assistance, but it is one of the most important steps in documenting the full impact across our communities and helps determine whether residents may qualify for future recovery assistance if approved.

The more complete our damage picture is, the stronger our case for potential assistance.
