What’s Happening
County officials are asking for residents and businesses to report any winter storm damage, whether residential, agricultural and commercial structures damaged by the storm. The information will be used to document the extent of damage across Saline County and determine whether the county qualifies for state assistance.
How to Report Damage
Submit the following information:
-
Name of the property owner
-
Physical address or GPS coordinates of the damaged structure
-
One or two clear photos showing the extent of the damage
Damage reports can be submitted by:
-
Email: [email protected] (Use the subject line: 2026 Ice Storm)
-
Text message: 501-317-2106
Important Information
County officials emphasized that there is currently no individual or public financial assistance available. Submitting damage reports is a required first step to provide documentation for the Governor’s Office to consider a formal disaster declaration. A public notice will be issued if assistance becomes available.
Safety Reminder
Residents are urged not to go inside damaged structures, especially those with sagging roofs or partial collapses. Officials warned that continued low temperatures and lingering ice is increasing the risk of secondary collapses.
County officials thanked residents for their cooperation and said additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
