Thank you for helping us accurately assess flood damages to private and public property in the City of Socorro!
WHY IS REPORTING YOUR FLOOD DAMAGES IMPORTANT?
- Disaster recovery is a multi-step process starting with an initial damage assessment.
- An initial damage assessment allows the City of Socorro and El Paso County to request a Declaration of Disaster Proclamation and gain access state and federal disaster recovery funds for public facilities and also residents who need funds to make flood related home repairs.
- Only YOU can help us document damages to private and public property in the City of Socorro.
