Illinois State Senator Jil Tracy is asking all Illinois citizens affected by spring and summer flooding to report any damage to your local county emergency management officials to help the state qualify for federal aid.
Tracy said, the information is needed to determine if the state will be eligible to receive recovery funding from the federal government.
A formal request for federal assistance must be submitted by Aug. 3, which is 30-days after the last impacted river fell below major flood stage.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency has made available teams to assist with the damage assessment process.
The State of Illinois has established a website that allows residents and business owners to submit an initial damage report online.
