Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)
There are many resources available, and the State of Nebraska has compiled information on agencies providing assistance and information. A 24-hour call center has been established at the Joint Information Center (JIC) at NEMA. The call center is staffed by state employees from a variety of agencies who are available to connect citizens with the resources needed. The call center number is 402-817-1551. This is not a FEMA resource number. A federal declaration has not been made. If a federal declaration is made, a FEMA contact number will be announced. The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) website has an interactive map of declarations, a chart of estimated damage costs, and general information on the floods.
