Franklin County Damage Assessments
FCPH is partnering with the Franklin County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security to conduct damage assessments following the recent flooding in Franklin County.
If your home, business, or property sustained flood damage, please email your contact information, property address, and a brief description of the damages sustained. Reporting storm damage helps us identify where resources and assistance may be needed. Franklin County wants to hear from you.
