PHOENIX — The city of Tempe is encouraging victims of the disastrous microburst that severely damaged homes and businesses on Monday to hold on to receipts for reimbursement.

“If you plan to apply for assistance, save every receipt and record of expenses from hotel stays and cleanup costs to repairs or lost business revenue,” the city posted to its X account.

“Any possible reimbursement will require documentation. Keep everything together in a folder or envelope so it’s easy to find when help becomes available.”

Tempe Mayor Corey Wood declared a state of emergency for the city on Wednesday.
