Oakport Township is cleaning up the sandbags and temporary dirt levees and forming a mountain of debris (pictured). Perhaps they will use this debris in the construction of permanent flood protection.FEMA officials are visiting with rural residents of the four Minnesota counties designated as disaster areas. If your home was damaged by the flood, or if you missed work due to the flood, you may be eligible for federal financial assistance. A professional and friendly FEMA employee from Illinois stopped by our house two days ago. Help is available to those who need it. It goes to show that government agencies can do good work if they are run by people who believe in public service.
