Flooding funds denied to Doniphan Co
05/08/2019

(KNZA)--Doniphan County will not receive federal assistance related to recent flooding.

That word was delivered Monday to the Doniphan County Commission by County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng.

Meng told the Commission the County did not quality for Federal Emergency Management Agency Assistance for the flooding that impacted the area in March.

She explained that the denial of funding was due to the damage assessment not meeting FEMA requirements.

Among the flooding affects felt in Doniphan County was the March evacuation of the City of Elwood when the Missouri River reached a level of 30 feet. Residents returned home several days later.
