Skagit County Emergency Management Collecting Flood Damage Information
The Skagit County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) is collecting information from Skagit County residents and businesses on damage, including losses, suffered during the flooding event of November 2021.
If your Skagit County home or business sustained damage as a result of this flooding event, you may be eligible for federal disaster assistance as you begin to clean up. Even if you have suffered only minor damage and do not expect to need assistance, please submit a report. Reports are due no later than Friday, December 3, 2021.
Follow these important steps for reporting damages to personal property:
