Los Angeles offering resources to help residents rebuild, repair after storm

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- If you live in an area of Los Angeles that was damaged in recent storms, the city has resources to help you rebuild, report damage and file claims.

The city suggests you start by taking pictures of damage and making efforts to protect your property from further problems.

County residents are also asked to complete a damage assessment survey, which will help determine if Los Angeles County qualifies for disaster assistance.
