FEMA to Conduct Preliminary Damage Assessments in Response to Natrona County Flooding

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be visiting Casper and several other cities in Natrona County that were impacted by the recent severe flooding to conduct preliminary damage assessments. The purpose of the assessments is to determine the extent of damage caused by the flooding and provide vital information for disaster response and recovery efforts.

The severe flooding in Natrona County has had far-reaching consequences, affecting homes, businesses, and infrastructure. FEMA will work with local officials, emergency management agencies, and community members to assess the damage and conduct the PDAs of the area. According to a media release issued by Governor Mark Gordon’s Office, during the PDAs, FEMA representatives will conduct detailed surveys and gather essential data to evaluate the impact of the flooding.

The collected information will be used to determine the need for federal disaster assistance and the appropriate level of support required. FEMA will engage with select homeowners and local stakeholders to gather critical information on the extent of the damage suffered. Their goal is to accurately assess the impact on individuals and the community as a whole. Following the completion of the preliminary damage assessments, FEMA will collaborate closely with local and state officials to determine eligibility for federal assistance programs.
