This outreach underscores the importance of community engagement in disaster response, as every reported damage contributes to a clearer picture of the needs in the area. The information collected will not only inform state-level decisions but also help prioritize resources for affected individuals.

Residents are prompted to share their damage reports through a designated link, ensuring that the process is straightforward and accessible.
