Copy of OFFICIAL UPDATE (7) (1)

The Williamson County Emergency Management Agency (WCEMA) is looking for the public’s assistance to document damages resulting from the storms Saturday morning, December 11th. The information will be used to assist the department in collecting consolidated impact information and for the National Weather Service as they assess the damage. Residents can report damage through the established online damage survey: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/3b1684f8beaa4015a2647741f5d82506

WCEMA has also recently embedded the form on their storm impacts page at http://www.williamsonready.org/261/Current-Emergency-Information.This survey can be used year-round during severe weather events.

The survey will collect specific information about:

What is damaged
Types of damage
Extent of damage

Contact Information

“We want the community to know that they can use this survey whenever Williamson County suffers from a severe weather event,” says WCEMA Director Todd Horton, “This survey helps us better understand the impacts to our community and gives everyone a place to go with the information that they have.”

According to the National Weather Service, this storm produced heavy rain, tornado warnings, and straight line winds. Some of the impacts included downed or damaged trees, power lines, and some structure damages.
