Emergency Flood
Protection
The USDA Soil Conserva
tion Service (SCS) has received
$260,000 to make emergency
repairs to streams that pose a
potential flood hazard in those
counties devastated by the
recent tornadoes.
Many streams are blocked
by timbers that fell during the
tornadoes, reports Dick Gallo,
Assistant State Conserva
tionist, SCS. These blockages
can cause flooding in areas
that are not normally affected
by floods creating the potential
for another natural disaster.
Of the 14 counties that are
involved, Robeson, Cumber
land, Sampson, and Pitt have
known significant stream
blockage problems at this
time. Gallo said. Work will
begin in Pitt County in a week
and all work should be
