Clark Township Urges Residents to Submit Storm Damage Reports by July 8
Maria Torres · Union County Life
Clark Township officials urged residents who experienced property damage during recent severe storms on July 3 to submit formal damage reports by Wednesday, July 8.
The municipal assessment effort aims to establish the full scope of storm damage across local neighborhoods. As reported by Union County Life, township administrators will share the collected data with county, state, and federal disaster agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to evaluate eligibility for aid.
Officials requested that property owners report damage to residential structures, commercial buildings, detached garages, sheds, fences, and vehicles. Submissions should include photos and detailed descriptions, regardless of whether property owners have already notified private insurance carriers.
Township leaders emphasized that reporting minor property damage helps build a comprehensive record of the impact on the community. Submitting local reports helps agencies assess whether damage thresholds meet requirements for federal disaster declarations, though it does not guarantee individual grant assistance.
Residents can access the Property Damage Assessment Form online through the Clark Township portal under the Online Services tab.
