Hope everyone is safe this evening.

Please note this recent press release from Town of Westport Town of Westport Fire Department :
WESTPORT RESIDENTS: REPORT FLOOD DAMAGE
Post Date:09/13/2026 5:49 PM
The Town of Westport is asking residents affected by today’s flooding to report flood-related damage and unmet needs through the Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) Damage Self Report.

This is an information-gathering survey only. Submitting this survey is NOT a claim or request for assistance and does NOT guarantee that disaster relief or other recovery assistance will be available.

The information collected will help state and local emergency management officials document the extent of the damage and determine whether the State of Connecticut may be eligible for post-disaster programs through FEMA and/or the Small Business Administration (SBA).

If your home or property was impacted by today’s flooding, please complete the survey using the QR code in the graphic or the link below:

Residents should also report property damage to their insurance company.

For life-safety emergencies, call 911 (tel:911). For immediate non-emergency assistance, call 211 (tel:211).

Help Shape Westport's Future Hazard Mitigation Plan

While Connecticut has enjoyed a period of relative calm over the last five years, the tropical systems of 2021 (Elsa, Fred, Henri, and Ida) and the severe flood of August 2024 were reminders of the risks posed by natural disasters.

The region’s communities have shared in the development and adoption of a “natural hazard mitigation plan” for two decades, with updates incorporated every five years. WestCOG is performing resilience planning to inform future hazard mitigation plans. Efforts will lead to mitigation actions that can be taken to reduce losses of property and life due to natural disasters like floods, severe wind events, winter storms, wildfires, droughts, extreme heat events, and earthquakes.

People living and working in the WestCOG Planning Region can take the short online survey (2min, 5 questions) and sign up for updates for upcoming public meetings. https://arcg.is/1W1TvC0

Thank you for helping build a safer, more resilient Westport.
