AT A GLANCE The state Office of Emergency Services has issued a list of suggestions for flood victims so they may be prepared to apply for federal disaster assistance. Residents who may need help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency should: * Notify your county emergency services director about storm and flood damage. Inform the director if you need cleaning supplies or drinking water. Kanawha County residents may call Bill White at 357-0111. * Photograph the damage and label the pictures on the back. * Begin the cleanup process immediately.
