Recovery efforts have stalled for nearly 400 homes and businesses damaged in recent flooding. Officials are waiting for a federal major disaster declaration to proceed with rebuilding and repairs. This comes six weeks after a request for help was sent to the White House.

A senior consultant for a long-term recovery group notes that resources are dwindling and those affected need assurance of additional support.

Further details on the situation and the recovery efforts are available from the source, including the impact of the delayed declaration on those affected by the flooding.
