Commissioners urge residents to report flood-related road damage by June 24 for possible FEMA aid
Summary
After weeks of heavy rain, commissioners reported significant roadway damage across rural Atchison County and asked residents to report extensive damage to township boards or the road-and-bridge department by June 24 so the county can compile a database and pursue possible FEMA funding.
A commissioner told the Atchison County Commission on June 16 that recent heavy rains have caused extensive damage to county roads and urged residents to report significant roadway damage to their township boards or to the road-and-bridge department by June 24.
The interim road-and-bridge superintendent is compiling a database of reported damage that the county may use to support FEMA funding requests. Commissioners said they have seen crews out in the western parts of the county responding to issues and encouraged continued reporting so department heads can follow up.
Commissioners also noted related citizen concerns about noxious weeds and solid-waste complaints, and said those matters are being relayed to department heads for action.
Next steps: residents with flood or extensive roadway damage should contact their township boards or the county road-and-bridge office and, if needed, follow up with commissioners for assistance in reporting.
