Some notes from the meeting at the EOC (Emergency Operating Center) on 6/23/08

FEMA has not advised the County when they will be arriving nor have they confirmed two sites (one at the Town of Fulton and one at the Job Center, Janesville.

The County will send out this information as soon as it is learned. (These are called DRCs (Disaster Recovery Centers)).

Four informational flyers were distributed for posting at CKSD and Carl's Shell.

1. Disaster News from FEMA.
2. Alliant Energy Reconnecting Your Utility Service.
3. Rock County Board of Health Offering Tetanus Vaccine to Injured Flood Victims, and
4. Tips for Coping with Floods.

National Guard is leaving today and the Rock County Sheriff's Dept. will be doing extra patroling.

Rock County Public Works Dept. is anticipated to ferry the people at Charley's Bluff in place of the National Guard.

There was a lot of discussion of what to do with the sandbags after the water recedes. Several options were going to be researched and then a decision will be made.

There have been 393,500 sandbags made and distributed to date.

Every infrastructure in the flooded areas will be inspected by either the Army Corps of Engineers or a consultant.

The sand site at Newville will not immediately be cleaned up "in case of emergency". Hopefully by the end of the week the property will be restored by the Public Works Dept.

The Grace Baptist Church, 809 Mallwood Drive, has offered to be a site for distributing clean-up kits.
