STORM DAMAGE REPORTING

To report storm damage to the Delaware County Emergency Management Agency, call (740) 833-2137 and (740) 833-2138. Phones will be staffed by volunteers from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. each day through Tuesday, March 19. These reports will assist the agency with assessing the amount of damage throughout the county. Please attempt to call each number before leaving a voicemail. These are two separate lines and calls to one do not roll over to the other.

Inspectors from the Delaware County Department of Building Safety also have begun posting notices on homes that were damaged by severe weather. If you receive a notice, please reach out so we can provide guidance on the necessary steps for obtaining approvals prior to beginning repairs. The department can also provide damage reports for insurance reporting. Staff is available Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at (740) 833-2200 or building@co.delaware.oh.us. They are located at the Byxbe Building, 1610 State Route 521 in Delaware.

It also includes information about how to recognize and avoid contractor fraud when it comes to property repairs. Ohioans with insurance questions and concerns can reach Ohio Department of Insurance representatives at 800-686-1526 and consumer.services@insurance.ohio.gov.

 


In the event of a disaster, Delaware County Emergency Management coordinates the county’s resources and agencies to reduce the impact it has on the county.

 

The Delaware County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management’s main goal is to save lives, prevent injuries, and protect property and the environment from “All Hazards” – Natural, Manmade, or Terrorism.

We strive reduce or eliminate the effects of day to day emergencies and large scale disasters in Delaware County through preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery.

We achieve our goals through the four phases of emergency management (Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery), conducting training and training exercises, and through education.
