Chimney chase cover or a chimney cap
There are websites you can order a new one custom made for a reasonable amount. I used fireside chimney supply.com

Chimney cap and a custom sheet metal company can give you a quote on them
You can also find them online. Particularly if you are using an insert with a standard flu. If it's an older masonry fireplace and chimney like I have, you may not be able to find an exact fit.
Heads up, they are not cheap.

Some roofing companies will replace them.

Call a chimney sweep.
We had one inspect our 2 fireplaces for cracks and other issues. He installed the chimney cap on one that rain was coming down.

We had some tall stupid chimney tower that came with house, it flew off in hurricane Laura…the sweep cylinders in attic all bent up. I told roofers to just close the bitch up, cylinders are still in attic. I don’t need a wood burning fire place for a few cold days a year.
