Sheriff David L. Dauzat requests all residents to submit details about storm impacts to fill out this survey to document damage to homes and/or businesses in the aftermath of this significant weather event. This survey is for residential and commercial structures only. Do not include vehicles. Information collected here will help parish, state, and federal authorities better understand the location and severity of damage impacts.
What is Damage.LA.Gov? Damage.LA.Gov is a website created by the State of Louisiana for citizens to self-submit storm damage to homes or businesses. Submitting your information helps parish, state, and federal officials understand the severity of the damage in our area. This data can also help speed up the process for individual recovery assistance. The official survey is available online at https://damage.la.gov/
