Village of Winnetka Seeks Residents' Input for Storm Damage Report

Whether knocking on doors and sending by post, the Village of Winnetka will be requesting flood damage information from residents after the July 23 storm.

The village government plans to send its estimate of flood damages to the Cook County Department of Homeland Security & Emergency management, with the end goal of financial assistance from the state and federal aid for uninsured losses. 

Earlier:

Every postal customer in Winnetka will be sent a form from the village on Wednesday afternoon, and residents in severely damaged parts of town will receive hand-delivered forms on Wednesday morning.

The deadline to submit your uninsured damage claims is Friday, July 28.

In his letter to residents, Village Manager Rob Bahan said, "We cannot promise that Winnetka will receive any benefit from this, but it is certain that we will receive nothing if we do not try. Therefore, your effort to complete this form during this difficult time will be greatly appreciated by all!"

The village's form and Bahan's letter are attached to this article.

How to Submit Your Form:

"You may return your form by dropping it off at Village Hall, the Police Department, Public Works Yards, Utility Payment Drop Box in the Post Office parking lot, the Library, and the Park District Office or by email to DamageForm@Winnetka.org, or by fax to 847-501-3180," according to the Village press release.
