Cook County Issues Local Disaster Proclamation Following July 27 Storms!!! The last day is Monday, August 10 2026.

Mayor Roger A. Agpawa and City Council is informing residents that Cook County issued a Local Disaster Proclamation on July 30, 2026, following the severe weather that impacted communities throughout the region on July 27, 2026.

The storm system brought multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms, torrential rainfall, localized flash flooding, downed trees and power lines, structural damage, transportation disruptions, and widespread utility outages. The National Weather Service also confirmed tornado activity in several south suburban communities.

The disaster proclamation allows Cook County to:

🚨 Activate and strengthen emergency response operations

🤝 Coordinate County and municipal recovery resources

🛠️ Access additional equipment, personnel, and assistance

🏠 Support ongoing damage assessments

🛡️ Help prevent further damage and protect public safety

💰 Support a possible request for federal disaster assistance if damage assessments determine that recovery needs exceed available state and local resources.

The Cook County Department of Emergency Management and Regional Security continues to coordinate response and recovery efforts while providing technical assistance to affected municipalities, including the City of Markham.

The City of Markham encourages all residents and businesses that experienced storm-related damage to document and report it through the Cook County Resident Storm Damage Survey:

https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/94f86f1d4d0f404c9c65afc70975cde3

Accurate reporting helps document the full impact of the storm and may support future requests for disaster assistance. Completing the survey does not guarantee financial assistance, but it is an important step in helping local, county, state, and federal agencies assess the extent of the damage.

The City of Markham remains committed to working with Cook County and our emergency management partners to support recovery efforts and protect the safety of our residents. Please continue to follow the City of Markham's official communication channels for updates and additional recovery information.

Please make sure all Markham residents fill out the Cook County Resident Storm Damage Survey!!!!

**¡El Condado de Cook Emite una Proclamación Local de Desastre Tras las Tormentas del 27 de Julio!** Ultimo Dia para llenar la forma sera Lunes, Agosto 10, 2026.

El **Alcalde Roger A. Agpawa** y el **Concejo Municipal de la Ciudad de Markham** informan a los residentes que el **Condado de Cook emitió una Proclamación Local de Desastre el 30 de julio de 2026**, como consecuencia del severo fenómeno meteorológico que afectó a las comunidades de toda la región el **27 de julio de 2026**.

El sistema de tormentas trajo múltiples rondas de fuertes tormentas eléctricas, lluvias torrenciales, inundaciones repentinas localizadas, árboles y líneas eléctricas caídas, daños estructurales, interrupciones en el transporte y cortes generalizados de los servicios públicos. El **Servicio Nacional de Meteorología (National Weather Service)** también confirmó actividad de tornados en varias comunidades de los suburbios del sur.

La proclamación de desastre permite al Condado de Cook:

🚨 Activar y fortalecer las operaciones de respuesta ante emergencias.

🤝 Coordinar los recursos de recuperación del Condado y de los municipios.

🛠️ Acceder a equipos, personal y asistencia adicionales.

🏠 Apoyar las evaluaciones continuas de los daños.

🛡️ Ayudar a prevenir daños adicionales y proteger la seguridad pública.

💰 Respaldar una posible solicitud de asistencia federal por desastre si las evaluaciones determinan que las necesidades de recuperación superan los recursos estatales y locales disponibles.

El **Departamento de Manejo de Emergencias y Seguridad Regional del Condado de Cook** continúa coordinando los esfuerzos de respuesta y recuperación, al mismo tiempo que brinda asistencia técnica a los municipios afectados, incluida la **Ciudad de Markham**.

La **Ciudad de Markham** exhorta a todos los residentes y negocios que hayan sufrido daños relacionados con la tormenta a documentarlos y reportarlos mediante la **Encuesta de Daños por Tormenta para Residentes del Condado de Cook**:

https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/94f86f1d4d0f404c9c65afc70975cde3

La información recopilada ayudará a documentar el impacto total de la tormenta y podrá respaldar futuras solicitudes de asistencia por desastre. **Completar la encuesta no garantiza asistencia financiera**, pero es un paso muy importante para ayudar a las agencias locales, del condado, estatales y federales a evaluar la magnitud de los daños.

La **Ciudad de Markham** mantiene su compromiso de trabajar junto con el **Condado de Cook** y nuestros socios de manejo de emergencias para apoyar los esfuerzos de recuperación y proteger la seguridad de nuestros residentes. Les pedimos que continúen siguiendo los canales oficiales de comunicación de la Ciudad de Markham para recibir actualizaciones e información adicional sobre la recuperación.

**¡Por favor, asegúrense de que todos los residentes de Markham completen la Encuesta de Daños por Tormenta para Residentes del Condado de Cook!**
