EMA seeks storm damage information

County EMA information

The Van Wert County Emergency Management Agency is seeking information from property owners who had damage to their property from last week’s storm, but did not have insurance coverage to assist with the damages.

County EMA Director Rick McCoy said he would be compiling data from the county to submit to the state in an effort to get Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance. He said no assistance is available now, but that all counties in Ohio are forwarding their losses to see if Ohio will meet a required threshold to qualify for assistance.

McCoy said he needs individuals to email or call his office with the type of damage, estimated dollar amount and structures affected that were not covered on an insurance policy.

Information can be emailed to emamccoy@vanwertema.com or by phone to 419.238.1300.
