Flood Recovery and Aftermath

Surry County failed to meet the 25-home threshold for state disaster aid despite over 220 damage reports; no state Individual Assistance is coming. Mount Airy is still being evaluated separately. City approved $2.3M for vehicle replacement; landfill fees waived for debris. Heat wave (105-110°F) and potential severe storms this weekend pose additional risks. A water quality alert in Mount Airy (safe) prompted bottled water in schools.
