Important example of how working together after a storm can have a significant impact on short and long term recovery efforts.

When summer storms strike Otter Tail County your photos and reports matter.
After a storm passes, take photos of any damage to your home, business, or community infrastructure and submit them using the Otter Tail County Severe Weather and Disaster Damage Self-Report Form.
đź“Ť ottertailcounty.gov/public-safety-law/emergency-response/reporting-damages/

Your pictures and reports help provide local communities and county, state, and federal authorities better understand where and how locations were impacted by significant storms and major disasters. Submitted reports will also help expedite public and individual assistance following major disasters.

See damage? Report it. Every report helps.
