Report your storm damage to San Luis Obispo Office of Emergency Services

San Luis Obispo County officials are asking residents to report any damages sustained to homes which will help determine the amount of damage to the county. 

This information will be used to pursue recovery funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) known as Individual Assistance.

“It’s unfortunate that we once again find ourselves in the situation where we are asking residents to report their storm damages,” said Emergency Services Manager Scott Jalbert, “reporting your damages on RecoverSLO.org will help us to assess the overall impact this storm had on our community.”

There is a location on RecoverSLO.org for the public to report any damages sustained to homes which will help determine the amount of damage to the county. This information will be used to pursue recovery funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) known as Individual Assistance.
The County of San Luis Obispo Office of Emergency Services has posted recovery information for the public on their RecoverSLO.org website for those in need of assistance following the recent storm. This includes how to re-enter your home if you experienced damage, cleanup and recovery resources, and information regarding financial assistance.
