Muskegon County State Of Emergency

5/21/2020 (Permalink)

It is not uncommon to experience water damage due to spring storms. Each year we have an uptick in water damage calls since the water table is still high due to the winter thaw. This year has definitely been different though. Many individuals who live in flood prone areas can agree that even starting last fall, the water table was really high and they would experience flooding with even minor rain storms. This spring has brought some severe storms that have left many homeowners dealing with more flooding than they have ever experienced. The flooding is so severe that local authorities have declared a state of emergency. Community members who have been affected by flooding can contact the county’s Department of Emergency Management by sending their name, address and cell phone number, along with any pictures of damage to their property, to em@co.muskegon.mi.us.
