Declaration of Local State of Disaster for the Village of Bartlett due to Severe Weather
Mayor Gunsteen has declared a local state of disaster for the Village of Bartlett as of June 12th, 2026.
The Village of Bartlett is dedicated to helping our residents with the aftermath of the storm damage from last night. We are currently assessing damage and will continue with formal damage assessments on Monday, June 15. We are grateful that there are no reported injuries or fatalities in Bartlett.
The Police Department will have extra patrols out over the weekend, and our Public Works crews are out removing trees from roadways and sidewalks. Please keep all refuse and other debris separate from brush and place it to be picked up on the curb by Groot on Tuesday, June 16. A special brush collection will be scheduled for next week.
We ask residents to please exercise caution in areas affected by damage. Call our non-emergency line:
- For tree damage and special brush collection: Public Works at (630) 837-0811

We are working with our local business community that were hardest hit to help them reopen as soon as possible.
We want to thank our first responders and our partners at DuPage County and Hanover Township Emergency Services for their assistance.
We ask for your patience and cooperation as we continue with recovery operations. We will continue to provide you with information as soon as it is available.
