The school has been sharing resources for families to get food, clean water, places to stay, and more via social media since the storm happened.

Kalamazoo County Emergency Services told FOX 17 they've completed their report, showing the destruction by the numbers needed to trigger a visit from FEMA.

The agency will be arriving Tuesday to perform their own assessment of the need for federal disaster relief.
