Flood Damage Assessment Teams Begin Survey

As torrential rains continue to pound parts of the state, Governor Brad Henry announced today that damage assessment teams will soon begin surveying damages to homes and businesses caused by flooding. On Monday, July 2, joint teams representing the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) will join Shawnee/Pottawatomie County Emergency Management officials in conducting preliminary damage assessments (PDAs) for potential individual assistance. Additional PDAs will be requested for recently reported damages in Comanche County and other counties along the Red River.
