Florida, Texas Counties Urge Flood Damage Reports

Residents and businesses in Indian River and St. Lucie counties are being urged to report damage from recent heavy rain and flooding so officials can document impacts and guide recovery planning. Indian River County’s online portal accepts property damage reports, while Florida has opened a separate survey for businesses to report physical and economic losses across 14 counties. In St. Lucie County, residents, businesses and agricultural property owners can submit a survey covering building damage and impacts to private wells and septic systems; officials say reports do not guarantee financial assistance. People should report only damage they have safely observed, and submit separate reports for each affected structure.
