Washington County Emergency Management is also urging residents, businesses, and municipalities to report storm-related damage. 

"We are continuing to see the impacts of severe weather across the county, and with more rain possible, it is critical that we receive information as quickly as possible," said Deputy Director of Washington County Emergency Management Dan Harvey. "Every report helps us understand the scope of the damage and determine what resources and assistance may be needed." 

In Canton Township, Washington County, a state of emergency was declared on Sunday afternoon. 

"Our area is still saturated from the rain over the last week," a social media post from the township's emergency management read. "This has caused the current rain falling to have nowhere to be absorbed and to accumulate quickly...If you are near sources of water or areas that usually flood, try to get somewhere else before it worsens. If you have emergency supplies, plan to shelter in place if needed. If you need to evacuate, have a go bag and be ready. If you evacuate, take your pets with you."
