    • Keep all receipts for any associated costs
  • Call your insurance adjuster before you cleanup or make repairs
  • Building Permits may be required for repairs

Properties Covered by Flood Insurance
  • Contact your insurance agent if you have a flood insurance policy.

Tree Debris

Public Works asks for assistance with bundling and making tree debris more manageable and speed up collection. Businesses and homeowners may place tree debris in the right-of-way for collection. Keep tree debris to lengths no longer than 5 feet and weighing less than 50 lbs. when possible. Please be patient as collection may take a couple of weeks.

Contractors assisting residents with the cleanup may also drop off tree debris for free at the Davenport Compost Facility through August 1.
