Haley also encouraged "anybody who has had any damage" to call FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or registering at disasterassistance.gov, a sentiment that was echoed by FEMA's Mike Moore.

Assessors have found 17 dams across the state that were breached by flood waters and are "keeping an eye" on 17 more. Listen to the complete press conference here:
