Akwesasne Community Alert: Documenting Flood Damages
The Akwesasne Community Emergency Management Office urges all residents affected by the recent flooding to document any damages to their property when the evacuation has been lifted.
This is a critical step in ensuring that our community receives potential assistance.
What to Do:
Take photographs or videos of all damages. Include wide shots for context and close-ups for detail.
Make a list of damaged or lost items, including their age, value, and any receipts if available.
Report your damages to the local authorities as soon as possible.
Why It's Important: Documenting damages is essential for:
Assistance eligibility: Accurate records are necessary for disaster relief and insurance claims.
Community recovery: Helps authorities understand the extent of damages to allocate resources effectively.
How to Share Your Information:
OEMS will be reaching out in the coming days to collect any information saved.

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
