Cowley County Emergency Management is collecting information for documentation purposes as the first step in the process to try to obtain funding to assist individuals who have experienced uninsured damage to private property as a result of the recent flooding.

Money or any other assistance with repair or cleanup of private property has not yet been made available by FEMA or any other government agency, and emergency management cannot guarantee that assistance will become available at a later date.

Information can be submitted via an online form available at www.cowleycounty.org/flood-damage, or by calling the EM office at (620) 221-0470 during normal business hours.
