Following Friday night’s severe storms and widespread damage across San Antonio, our staff quickly mobilized to assess affected properties.

Throughout the weekend, our team inspected storm-damaged areas, identified potential safety risks, documented damage, and took action when structures posed an immediate danger. These efforts support San Antonio’s recovery as City crews clear debris, restore power, and respond to storm damage across our community.

We’re proud of the staff who continue to show up for San Antonio when our community needs them most. Recovery takes teamwork. Thank you to every City employee, first responder, and partner working to help our city recover.

San Antonio residents and business owners are encouraged to report storm damage through the State of Texas iSTAT damage survey: 🔗 Damage.TDEM.Texas.gov

📍 Submit one survey per affected address. The survey is available in English and Spanish. Your report helps emergency officials understand the extent of damage across our community and identify areas of need.

Important: Completing the survey does not replace an insurance claim or guarantee disaster assistance.
