Audio: Full interview with Sheri Bowen of Mills County EMA
Sheri Bowen is with the Mills County Emergency Management Agency. She says as life was starting to move forward from the March floods, round two came. In fact, some residents had just moved back into their homes as the second round hit.
The Army Corps of Engineers took a lot of heat for how flood control was handled during the March floods. Bowen says this time there was ample communication. She says she realizes sometimes the corps is just reacting to rapidly changing conditions as best they can.
Bowen says help is desperately needed.
