The Mobile County Emergency Management has filed a preliminary damage estimate of $19 million with the state EMA for governmental expenses related to Hurricane Sally.
Mike Evans, deputy director of the Mobile County EMA, said the county organization submitted the figure to the state agency Friday evening. The estimate was based on a survey sent to the county government and municipal governments.
The total is by no means an over-arching account of the damage done by the storm. It doesn’t account for damage to private property such as homes. It’s an estimate of the amount that county and local governments expect to spend on debris removal, road and bridge repair, damage to publicly owned utilities and similar expenses.
