Damage From the Recent Winter Storms?
The City of Portland launched an online tool for property owners and tenants to report damage to buildings due to the January 2024 snow and ice storms.
Residents, tenants and owners of property located within Portland are encouraged to share information to help the City recover from this weather event.
The Portland Bureau of Emergency Management collects the information provided through this assessment tool and uses this information to help provide a complete picture of the damage incurred in Portland from the storm. The information also supports efforts to obtain state and federal disaster recovery assistance.
