• Description:
  To the parents of children affected by floods in the Plain Community.
  
  Storms and floods can bring extraordinary changes and challenges to your community. Many have been directly affected by the flooding, while others have spent exhausting hours filling sandbags, helping with evacuations, and performing other emergency duties.
  
  Now, as the waters recede, it is time to return home and put lives and affairs back in order. It will be a time of stress for everyone, and the difficulties you encounter can all too easily be compounded by contaminated food and water as well as health issues associated with animals and insects.
  
  The situation will be doubly critical for children. Their routines have been upset, their homes will need cleaning, their belongings may be lost and pets may have died.
