Need Additional Support?

A network of community partners have organized a Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG) to support ongoing needs since the August 2025 floods. This is a community-led, collaborative effort to help households and organizations with ongoing needs such as repairs, stabilization, and recovery navigation.

Resources may include:

  • Recovery guidance and case support

  • Connection to community resources or volunteer assistance

  • Help identifying available programs or services
