Here’s information where to call if you have storm damage from last night:
A hotline has now been set up for reporting damage to the Springfield-Greene County Office of Emergency Management. The number is (417) 829-6100. Citizens are asked to call this number instead of the OEM’s main line.
Hotline operators will take the calls and record information. They will ask for information such as type and extent of damage, insurance agent and company contact information, type of property such a residential or business, and comments regarding personal loss or injury if not previously reported. The information will be collected to help officials assess the overall damage of the overnight storms.
Please do not call the hotline for shelter or transportation information. Those calls should be directed to the Red Cross at (417) 832-9500. Citizens can call the hotline to report people with special needs in the home to help determine where to send them.
