Stump removal is underway for trees removed from public parkways following the August 11 storm. Stumps in front or back yards are NOT a part of this project. Because stump grinding requires different equipment, the crew may arrive after tree and limb removal has finished in your neighborhood.

Think a parkway stump was missed? Contact Dyer Public Works at 219-865-4222 or dpw@townofdyer.com with your address and the stump’s location so staff can check the work list.

We’ll share more information about restoring the areas where stumps are removed and any plans for replacement trees as those details are confirmed. If a standing parkway tree is leaning, damaged, or lifting a sidewalk, please report its location to Public Works for review.

Thank you for your patience as storm recovery continues.

Join Faith Church in helping Dyer residents who need assistance with storm damage cleanup. As recovery efforts continue, your time and helping hands can make a difference for neighbors who need extra support.

Thank you for coming together to support our community.

Dyer residents whose homes or personal property were damaged by the August 11 storms may now apply for FEMA Individual Assistance.

Please note: This assistance is not administered by or directly associated with the Town of Dyer. These are federal resources now available following state and federal disaster declarations covering our area. Eligibility and funding decisions are determined by FEMA.

To get started:

Contact your insurance company and file a claim, if insured.

Take photos and videos of all damage before making repairs.

Gather the all information requested.

Complete FEMA’s online questionnaire and application:

https://www.disasterassistance.gov/

Residents may also apply by calling the FEMA Helpline at 1-800-621-3362.

After applying, save your FEMA registration number and respond promptly if FEMA requests additional documents or schedules a property inspection.

Applying does not guarantee funding. FEMA assistance is based on eligibility and verified disaster-related needs. It generally cannot duplicate insurance payments and may not cover every loss.

Applying is free. FEMA representatives will never ask for payment to process an application. Please be cautious of scams.

The Town of Dyer remains actively engaged in recovery efforts following the recent storm. Public Works employees, emergency personnel, contractors, utility crews, volunteers, and community partners continue working throughout our community. We appreciate our residents’ continued patience and cooperation.

IMPORTANT: STORM DEBRIS PICKUP DEADLINE

Residents should place all remaining storm-related tree limbs and debris at the curb as soon as possible.

Additional contracted assistance for storm-debris pickup will conclude on Monday, September 14. Please ensure your storm-related debris is at the curb before then so crews have the best opportunity to collect it while these additional resources remain available.

Keep all piles clear of parked vehicles, fire hydrants, electrical boxes, and other obstructions so large equipment can safely access them.

NORMAL PUBLIC WORKS HOURS

Dyer Public Works now operates under the normal hours.

Dyer Public Works — 516 Edmond Drive

Monday–Friday: 7:00 AM–3:00 PM

RESIDENT DUMPSTERS

A dumpster remains available for Dyer residents only at:

FEMA DISASTER ASSISTANCE

Lake County residents affected by the storm may apply for federal disaster assistance and review available recovery resources through FEMA.

Apply online: DisasterAssistance.gov

FEMA Helpline: 1-800-621-3362

Eligibility is determined by FEMA. This federal assistance program is not administered by the Town of Dyer.

GOSERV GLOBAL CLEANUP ASSISTANCE

GoServ Global volunteers are assisting Dyer residents who need additional hands-on help with storm cleanup, including downed trees, branches, debris, and storm-damaged property.

Priority will be given to residents who may not have the physical ability or resources to complete the work themselves.

To request GoServ assistance, contact Dyer Town Hall at 219-865-6108.

Please note: GoServ assistance is not intended for routine collection of limb piles already placed at the curb. Public Works crews and contractors are handling curbside limb collection.
