I asked in another sub

Simple question guys nothing about cost just concern. I live in East Ky one of the areas that was flooded. We’ve not been home since, I had to go home today to do a fema inspection over the phone. We found some troubles. I’m a totally desk jockey with a background in social work, so I’ve been learning a lot. But during the inspection which was conducted on the phone the back wall of the house which took the damage from the water coming off the hills, it looked pregnant, sticking out probably 2-3 inches. With the water damage and roof damage is this a concern? Thank you for answers!

It can be. If you're lucky it's just drywall. If the studs themselves are askew then it's a huge problem. If it's just the drywall sticking out then, sure, you gotta replace the drywall but it doesn't automatically mean there's structural problems. Don't get me wrong, there could still be structural problems, this isn't a hard "it's fine" if it's just drywall bowing.
