LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – State officials are asking those affected
by flooding in Nebraska to submit information regarding damages and
losses.
The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency says the information
will be used to determine whether areas of Nebraska meet federal
thresholds for assistance.
The agency is in the early stages of collecting information for
a damage assessment. Those who have evacuated homes, have sustained
damages to a business and those whose jobs have been affected by
flooding are encouraged to contact the agency.
NEMA is seeking the information from those affected by current
flooding along the Missouri, Platte or North Platte rivers. Those
people are asked to call NEMA’s public toll-free lines at either
855-211-2453 or 855-211-2454. The lines are staffed daily from 8
a.m. to 8 p.m. Central time.
