Missouri State Emergency Management Agency

The agency's website is a central resource for information about flooding prevention, preparation, and recovery. For example, you can learn about post-disaster cleanup services and protection from price gouging. In addition, the agency encourages people affected by a disaster to report damage to their local emergency management officials. Your county or municipal emergency management director is the best source of information on local programs that can help you recover from flooding. The state agency works with local government agencies to take advantage of funding provided by federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant programs. These programs provide funding to pay for measures that reduce the community's risk of flooding.
