Flood costs loom as Illinois counties face flood damage
Officials say help is available but not 100 percent. About 250 homes in Massac County are flooded and many beyond repair. IEMA starts damage assessments for federal aid thresholds. Local governments could get 75 percent road and bridge repair reimbursement and loans or grants for individuals. Metropolis and surrounding towns face business losses, postponed reopenings, and long recovery.
