If you are a resident or business owner that was affected by the recent storm damage, we encourage you to report your assessment, so the City of Johnston can provide the information to Polk County. The damage assessment information is being compiled for emergency declaration for FEMA. If you prefer to report your damage directly, we encourage you to call 2-1-1. This information will determine the number of residents affected by the recent floods and better define resources our community may need.
