Less than two days after the Cedar River crested, two Linn County teams begin external damage assessments in Palo to confirm safety for residents to return. About 40 to 80 homes affected, with green placards allowing reentry and yellow placards guiding needed permits. A sewer main break and possible groundwater overload complicate the recovery.
