Rock County residents affected by the summer 2008 flooding still may receive assistance for flood-related mold, repairs or cleanup issues. The Wisconsin Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster Region 3 Long-Term Recovery Committee is coordinating the assistance.

Call the United Way 2-1-1 at (608) 2-1-1 or (608) 246-4357. The deadline is June 1. Community resource specialists will relay contact information to a VOAD case manager who will then contact applicants. The case manager will work to identify resources that can help address flood-related needs.

United Way 2-1-1 is a free and confidential referral and information service that connects people with resources in their community.

The VOAD works with the Rock County Department of Emergency Management, the Rock County Planning Agency, The Salvation Army and many other local agencies. Call Julie Cunningham of The United Way of North Rock County at (608) 757-3058 for more information.
