Marshall County Emergency Management Agency Director Clyde Avery informed the county commissioners Monday morning that Marshall County will be receiving individual and public assistance.
“Individual assistance will be for families and businesses impacted by the flood and the public assistance will be for jurisdictions for emergency protective measures, infrastructure damage and those types of things,” said Avery.
Avery explained that the next step is to find a venue that can accommodate the needs in order to hold public assistance briefings.
“I’ve been in contact with the City of Plymouth and they informed me that the Webster Center may work for what we need. I’ve sent that information to the state. If that meets their needs, then that’s probably where we’ll hold it. They haven’t provided a specific date yet, but I just wanted to let you know. It’s terrific news for us.”
The commissioners thanked Avery for his work in gathering all of the information needed to present to the state and to FEMA. Avery was quick to thank Highway Supervisor Jason Peters for getting all of the assessment and cost analysis paperwork complete on damages done during the flood event in February.
