Emergency Management reports ~$976,000 in initial local damage claims after Benzie County flooding
Summary
Emergency Management reported continuing damage assessments after a declared State of Emergency, citing roughly $296,000 to the road commission, $250,000 to the Village of Beulah, and about $430,000 to individual homes.
Rebecca Hubers of Benzie County Emergency Management told the Board of Commissioners on May 12 that damage assessments from recent flooding are ongoing and that county staff expect to finish damage assessments the same day to advance recovery work.
Hubers reported the largest claims recorded so far: about $296,000 for the Benzie County Road Commission, about $250,000 for the Village of Beulah, and roughly $430,000 in reported damage to individual homes. Hubers said those figures reflect reported damages to date and that assessments will determine eligibility for state or federal assistance.
The board heard the dispatch quarterly report the same morning and was told that damage assessments are proceeding in coordination with county departments and affected municipalities. No specific timetable for state or federal reimbursement was provided during the meeting.
