Los Angeles, CA –  As Los Angeles County begins to support residents with their individual recovery efforts following the recent storms, Lindsey P. Horvath, Chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, wants to help connect impacted community members to recovery resources and activities.

“As we begin the recovery process, Los Angeles County is here to support the renters, homeowners, and businesses impacted by the storm,” said Chair Horvath. “No one is alone in navigating this process, and the County is here to help ensure our communities are connected to the resources they need. We came together to stay safe, and we’ll do the same through our recovery process.”

The first step in the process is for individuals and businesses to complete a survey to answer preliminary questions regarding any damage that was sustained from the recent storms. The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will work directly with the County’s 88 cities to analyze this information and validate what is reported.

This survey is intended for information gathering purposes and will be used to determine if the County is eligible for various disaster assistance programs based on the total amount of damages reported Countywide. Disaster assistance programs are not guaranteed, so residents and businesses are encouraged to continue working with their insurance carriers while this information is collected.

The public can access the Damage Collection Survey at https://recovery.lacounty.gov/february-2024-winter-storm/. The County’s Recovery page for the 2024 storms will serve as a resource hub for all post-disaster information.

Residents are encouraged to visit the website regularly for the most up-to-date information regarding recovery activities. For assistance in completing the survey, residents can call 2-1-1.

The LA County Assessor’s Office is also here to help through Misfortune & Calamity Tax Relief. Learn more at https://assessor.lacounty.gov/tax-relief/disaster-relief.
