The Municipality of Leamington and the Town of Kingsville want to hear from anyone who sustained flood damage last weekend.
Both municipalities have set up dedicated emails and phone numbers for those who have flood damage in their homes.
If you're in the Municipality of Leamington the number is 519-325-5969. The email address is [email protected]. In Kingsville, you can call 519-733-2305 or email [email protected].
The area suffered significant damage in this past weekend's storm. The information town officials gather will be sent to the province as it considers disaster relief for residents.
The Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing may activate the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program.
The program is only for primary residences and does not replace house insurance. Homeowners will have to exhaust their insurance benefits first.
In addition to gathering information from homeowners, the town is focused on clearing debris from roads so emergency vehicles and public works vehicles can pass through them.
The focus will soon shift to making arrangements for the collection and disposal of household waste and refuse from the storm.
