Following the aftermath of Helene's blow to St. Johns County, local Emergency Management is reaching out to residents to lend a hand in documenting the damage. A digital survey is the chosen tool for citizens to report the individual impacts of the storm which pummeled through the county recently. The survey is accessible at www.SJCEmergencyManagement.com and will remain available until the impending deadline of Oct. 4.
It’s imperative for locals to understand that this survey isn't a gateway to any sort of disaster assistance or insurance claim processes—it's purely for the county to get a grasp on Helene’s isolated impacts. The compiled data from this effort will become part of a larger collection of information that might inform the assessments of other state and federal agencies that are trying to put a price tag on the destruction.
In an addition to the online tool, the St. Johns County Emergency Management Citizen Information Hotline at (904) 824-5550 stands as a beacon for those seeking human interaction and clarity. The lines are open until 5 p.m. today, allowing residents a chance to inquire about the survey or Helene-related concerns.
