Representatives from FEMA are now on the ground in Webbers Falls to help assist flood victims.
FEMA representatives will be set up in a mobile unit at Webbers Falls City Hall from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily until crowds start diminishing, according to MaryLynn Lufkin, director of outreach and disaster relief for Catholic Charities Eastern Oklahoma.
“… All residents of Muskogee County … need to go and register with FEMA as soon as they can in order to possibly qualify for financial assistance with their damage from the flooding,” Lufkin said.
Muskogee County Commissioner Ken Doke said cleanup has begun, and the Red Cross has provided cleanup kits. The kits are available at Webbers Falls City Hall. He said both cleaning supplies and cleanup volunteers are needed in Webbers Falls.
