STONELICK TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Representatives from the Clermont County Emergency Management Agency will spend the next several days going door to door across Stonelick Township to survey storm damage to homes, the Stonelick Township Fire Department said in a Facebook post.
EMA teams may visit properties, speak with residents about damage to their homes and photograph damaged residential structures, according to the post. Representatives could be accompanied by a Clermont County sheriff’s deputy or a township representative, and all will carry identification, the fire department said.
The assessments will allow the county to compile storm damage information and submit it to the state of Ohio, which will evaluate the county for potential disaster assistance, funding and additional recovery resources, according to the post.
Residents whose homes or residential property sustained storm damage are asked to report their address to Stonelick Township so the assessment team can add the property to its list of stops. Residents can call 513-732-1136 or email [email protected]. The data collection is limited to damage to residential structures and dwellings, the fire department said.
Stonelick Township is a roughly 29-square-mile community of more than 5,000 residents in north-central Clermont County. It is led by trustees David Pennington, Naomi Blankenship and Edward “Moe” Cooper, with Tracey Sumner serving as fiscal officer.
The Clermont County Emergency Management Agency coordinates with public safety and public service agencies across four core functions — mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery — to help protect lives, property and the environment, according to the agency.
Stonelick Township is among several Clermont County communities where EMA crews have surveyed storm damage in recent days as the county assesses the toll of severe weather across the region.
