URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!
The
National
Guard
will
be
in
the
Town
of
Alderson
and
the
immediately
surrounding
area
to
pick
up
flood
damaged
items
and
debris
on
Wednesday,
June
24.
All
Alderson
citizens
and
those
in
the
surrounding
area
who
suffered
damage
from
the
flash
flooding
on
Friday,
June
19
can
put
out
items
to
be
taken
away
by the Guard. Items must be at the curb by the end of the day on Tuesday.
Mayor
Travis
Copenhaver
said,
“We
know
that
this
flooding
had
a
different
damage
pattern
than
previously
when
flooding
came
from
the
Greenbrier
River.
This
means
that
people
who
are
not
even
close
to
the
river
had
water
in
their
basements
and
other
damage.
We
especially
want
those
people
to
know about this damaged item and debris removal by the Guard.”
Mayor
Copenhaver
has
worked
closely
with
both
the
Greenbrier
County
and
Monroe
County
Offices
of
Homeland
Security
and
Emergency
Management
to
expand
this
debris
removal
service
to
areas
just
outside
of
town
which
were
impacted
by
the
flooding.
Areas
such
as
Palestine
and
Dark
Hollow
are
certainly included as well as others who may not have a name.
Anyone
who
lives
in
an
area
which
is
not
typically
flooded,
can
call
City
Hall
(304-445-2916)
with
their
name
and
physical
address.
A
list
will
be
kept
and
it
will
be
given
to
the
National
Guard
when
they
arrive
on Wednesday.
As
far
as
is
known
now,
this
will
be
the
only
debris
pick
up
by
the
National
Guard.
It
is
important
that
everyone
knows
about
it
and
gets
their
debris
and
damaged
items
to
the
curb
by
the
end
of
the
day
on
Tuesday.
