2-1-1 Is The Number To Report Property Damage From Debby, However, If 2-1-1 Is Busy, Here Is Another Number

Steuben County Emergency Services Director Tim Marshall says if you have tried calling 2-1-1 to report property damage, but could not get through on 2-1-1, to call this number: 1-800-346-2211.  Officials stress that if damage is reported, there is a much greater chance of getting government assistance for repairs.
