Emergency Incident Guide: Flooding, Sewage Backup & Power Outages

This guide is a single reference for what to do during flooding, sewage backups, and power outages in Cincinnati and Hamilton County. It walks through when to call 911, how to report a sewer backup to MSD's Sewer Backup (SBU) Program and pursue a cleaning or damage claim, and how to reach Duke Energy for outage reporting, downed-line safety, storm preparation, and generator use. It also includes a quick-reference contact table and pointers to other agencies — 311, the Red Cross, 211, Hamilton County Public Health, Cincinnati Buildings & Inspections, FEMA, and more — so residents can find the right contact fast, whatever the emergency.
