Cobb Emergency office launches tool for Sept. 8 storm damage

Cobb heavy rains flooding

From Cobb County Government:

Reports of damaged homes and property continue to come into Cobb Emergency Management from last week’s torrential rainfall event. EMA continues to respond to reports, but now there is a tool to allow you to report damaged property directly to our emergency management teams.
Important things to remember:
  • This is only a reporting tool for the flooding event of September 8th.
  • If you have already spoken with a Cobb Emergency Management team please do not fill out another report.
  • This is only to report damage to “essential living spaces.” There were many reports of damage to yards, however, this report focuses only on residences.
  • The form will ask for a “Team Number/Name,” simply choose “other.”
  • Type in the address on the “Map Your Location” image
  • A picture representative of the damage is preferred.
The information gathered will be used for a report to GEMA after which any disaster declaration will be considered. If such a declaration is issued, we will contact those impacted.
