Report flood damage to telephone hotline or use online form

 

King County residents and business owners who sustained damage from the recent storms and flooding are encouraged to report uninsured property damages online, or by calling 1-800-523-5044 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. today and Tuesday.

 

The phone hotline will close after 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday; however the online form will still be available after Tuesday by visiting http://your.kingcounty.gov/prepare/damage.

 

Damage information will be collected to determine if a request for federal disaster assistance can be made. Residents who have questions or are not sure if they qualify should call the Office of Emergency Management at 206-296-3830.
