The recovery efforts in Menasha are going well, but there is still a lot of work to do. Remember:

1. Document damage and report it by calling 211.
2. Follow the City of Menasha, Winnebago County Sheriff, and the Menasha Police Department social media pages for updates.
3. Call my office if I can assist with anything: 920-907-0624.

Thank you to Senator Ron Johnson and Congressman Tony Wied for your support. And a BIG thank you to Sheriff John Matz and the entire Winnebago County, Wisconsin Sheriffโ€™s Office for bringing us up to speed on the progress of the recovery and for everything you're doing to help.

BEWARE OF โ€œSTORM CHASERโ€ SCAMS

After a major storm, legitimate contractors often arrive to help. Unfortunately, so do people looking to take advantage of homeowners who are tired, overwhelmed, and trying to make repairs quickly.

Before agreeing to any work:

Get recommendations from people you trust
Research the company and verify its contact information
Ask for proof of insurance and any required credentials
Get the full scope of work and cost in writing
Read the contract before signing
Avoid paying the full amount upfront
Be cautious of high-pressure sales tactics or claims that you must decide immediately

Do not allow urgency to replace good judgment. A reputable contractor should be willing to answer questions, provide documentation, and give you time to review the agreement.

Menasha is strong. We can do this together.

โŒ Do not remove scrap metal, appliances, building materials, or other property from damaged areas.

We appreciate everyone who is ready to help Menasha.

For now, volunteers must wait until they are contacted and assigned by Volunteer Fox Cities. Please do not self-deploy or report to damaged areas.

We are only accepting donations of water at the Fox Cites Campus (former UWO Fox Cities). Please also stop bringing supplies of food and clothes to the former ox Cities campus while crews organize the site.
