Report Your Flood Damage

If you have experienced problems related to flooding, please report the problem to the city. Sending an email creates a written record and you can send it to staff and elected officials.

Also, Dane County is urging residents to report storm- or flood-related damage. Click here for the press release from Dane Co. Here is some of the useful information from the County:

Dane County Emergency Management is requesting all INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES that sustained wind, flood, and general storm damage from the recent storms to report that damage to their local unit of government. Additionally, residents and businesses should document this damage. One of the best forms of documenting damage is to take photographs or video. Individuals in need of flood fighting supplies should contact their local municipality.

Public Health, Madison and Dane County has information regarding private well testing, basement clean-up from sewage, mold concerns, and beach/lake water quality. They can be reached at 266-4821.

To request or offer assistance for storm and flood victims, contact the United Way 2-1-1 by dialing 2-1-1 from a land line or 246-HELP (4357) from a cellular telephone.

For more information contact: J. McLellan, Dept. of Emergency Management 608/267-2542 Damage Assessment Reference #061008-01

  2. Well, the lake is slightly above the historic highs (set in June 2000) so there is a lot of water down there. City PW was down there hauling sand over the weekend and volunteers were working to fill bags.

    The ad hoc flood mitigation committee is meeting tomorrow night (June 17) at 6:30 p.m. in the Library Media Room.

    Unfortunately alder Wiswell scheduled this meeting without asking me (as co-chair) if I could attend and I have my monthly Library Board meeting at 7 pm, so will miss most the flood meeting.
