Springfield Storm Recovery: How You Can Help Our Neighborhood Rebuild

 










The recent storm has left many of our neighbors facing significant challenges. As our community works together to recover, your local knowledge can make a tremendous difference in how quickly and effectively resources are deployed.

We Need Your Eyes on the Ground

Your familiarity with our neighborhood makes you an invaluable partner in our recovery efforts. City crews are working diligently, but you can help us prioritize the most urgent situations by identifying addresses where:

  • Fallen trees still remain on homes or other structures
  • Residences remain without power specifically due to tree damage
  • Large trees (12" caliper or larger) that remain down or uprooted in yards

How Your Reports Help

By reporting these specific issues, you're helping city teams deploy resources where they're needed most. This targeted approach means faster assistance for those facing the most severe circumstances.

How to Report

Have you spotted storm damage that fits these categories? Direct your neighbors to submit information through the Storm Damage Report Form at www.springfieldmo.gov/storm.

These reports provide our teams with detailed information about:

  • The type of damage present
  • The urgency of needed assistance
  • The specific locations requiring attention

Community-Powered Recovery

Together, we'll find solutions and coordinate volunteer efforts where they'll make the biggest impact. Our city's resilience shines brightest when we work as a team - with your help, Springfield will rebuild stronger than ever.

Share this post with your Springfield neighbors to spread the word about how we can all contribute to our community's recovery.
