CHICAGO (WLS) — Assessment teams will be surveying parts of Chicago and Cook County that were affected by flooding last month.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle both issued disaster proclamations to assist Chicago residents affected by flooding Aug. 16-19.

From Wednesday to Sunday, joint preliminary damage assessment (PDA) teams including representatives from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and local emergency management personnel will go door-to-door in impacted areas across Cook County and survey damage to homes and businesses.

Officials already have the addresses of city of Chicago residents who have filled out the online survey and reported “Water in Basement” to 311 to schedule a visit.

Joint PDA teams will determine if the damage qualifies for a state disaster proclamation as well as FEMA or U.S. SBA assistance.

Approved FEMA recovery teams will be asking residents and business owners to take part in joint PDAs.

The Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications says that while it is important to meet with PDA teams, residents should be wary of scam artists who may prey upon storm survivors.
