Moore County is initiating a joint preliminary damage assessment (PDA) to evaluate the extent of damage caused by Tropical Storm Chantal. The preliminary damage assessment is conducted by teams made up of city, county, and state personnel who will assess damage to homes, businesses, and public infrastructure.
Affected residents are encouraged to report damage to their homes and/or businesses by completing the property damage form at one of the following locations:

“The PDA is a crucial step in determining whether the affected area qualifies for federal and state disaster assistance,” said Moore County Department of Public Safety Director Bryan Phillips in a news advisory. “The information gathered will be used to support a request for a major disaster declaration.”
The assessment is to begin on Wednesday, July 9, and will continue for five days. Please note that the PDA process does not guarantee federal assistance, but it is a vital step in the recovery process.
Citizens can keep up with current events happening with Moore County Public Safety by following them on Facebook (www.facebook.com/moorecountyps) or the county webpage.
