Flood update: County tackles debris slowly, assistance still available

It’s been three months since the region was hit by deadly flooding in July. Although Wilco Emergency Management and partners have been removing debris from the North and South forks of the San Gabriel River, the county is still only about 10 percent done with clean-up.
