Damage From The Wind Storm In Amarillo, Texas? Fill This Out.

As we sit here waiting for another round of crazy wind to blow through Amarillo today potentially, we are still assessing everything that happened on Friday. As you drove around the city, you could see the immense amount of damage.

Fences were knocked down, trees were literally ripped out of the ground, windows were broken. There was even a trampoline that found its way to I-27 and Hillside right there in the median.

Mayor Cole Stanley declared a local state of disaster, and it was definitely the right call. Now, the Amarillo Area Office of Emergency Management are asking residents of both Potter and Randall County to start assessing their damage.

No, they aren't asking you to email them with damage. There is a tool called the Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool, or iSTAT, and they're asking you to fill out the survey to let them know about damage you incurred.

There are quite a few questions on it, so you'll want to set aside about 10 minutes to complete the survey. It's important to note that this does NOT replace reaching out to your homeowners insurance company for damages.

The survey is intended for essentially everyone in Randall and Potter County who sustained damage to their home, business, or property. Whether it was impacted by the wind, the Public Safety Power Shutoffs, or any of the wildfires that broke out during the weather event.

By completing the survey, it helps the city understand just how much damage was incurred and allow them to understand the next steps they need to take in the response and recovery process.

Taking the survey does NOT guarantee you'll receive assistance, but if you don't take it, you definitely won't. So take the 10 minutes and fill it out if you sustained damage.
