(Glen Burnie, MD) - The Anne Arundel County Office of Emergency Management has opened the damage assessment portal to gather data on damages caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby that resulted in coastal flooding on Monday, August 9, 2024.
Damage assessment is a critical process after a severe incident or disaster. Preeti Emrick, the Director of the Office of Emergency Management, emphasizes that “understanding the full extent of disaster damage through data collection helps build resilience for future challenges.”
Residents and businesses can report damage from the severe weather event by filling out the Anne Arundel County Damage Assessment Data Collection form through Monday, August 26th, 2024.
This form is not a substitute for submitting insurance claims and damage assessment submissions do not guarantee federal, state, or local reimbursement.
Residents can also report damage by contacting the Office of Emergency Management at 410-222-0600. If after hours, residents should leave a message with their name, number, and the type and amount of damage incurred.
Additionally, you can help us better understand the hazards impacting your community by filling out our Hazard Mitigation Survey for the 2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update. Director Emrick urges community members to participate in the survey as the frequency and severity of hazards will continue to increase.
An alternate format is available upon request. Contact the Office of Emergency Management at (410) 222-0600 or oem@aacounty.org. TTY users, please call via Maryland Relay 7-1-1.
