Lake Charles City Hall Has Website To Report Flood Damage
After the third heaviest rain the Lake Area has experienced on record, those 15 inches we received caused a lot of damage to personal and commercial properties. Lake Charles City Hall is asking all residents who received damage from flooding to report it to www.damage.la.gov. The site is easy to walk through and will ask you for pictures of the damage you received from the storm.

It does not guarantee anyone will receive the assistance, but it will help prove that we do, indeed, need it.
