As a supplemental reporting tool, OEMC is partnering with the Illinois Management Agency to compile additional information through a Residential Self-Assessment Survey.

This supplemental information will help determine if the city, along with partners at the Cook County Department of Emergency Management and Regional Security (CCEMRS) and IEMA can pursue any options for additional assistance for residents.

The deadline to submit the survey is Sunday, Aug. 3.

There has been heavy rain in the Chicago area throughout the last week.

A Flood Watch was in effect at points.

Flash flooding was a concern in the south and southwest neighborhoods that saw several inches of rain.
