Whether or not the basement is a living area (finished)
Insurance information: Homeowners, Renters, or Flood
Whether or not there was any structural damage
The cause of the flooding (river, sump pump failure, or sewer backup)
There is no guarantee of federal financial assistance being made available, but collecting this data is the first step toward determining if Kendall County and the State of Illinois are eligible.
