5:07 pm
damaged, um, you know they're not getting any help from fema now because they're not eligible until this declaration is made. so this is it for those individual families? the letter follows a successful push earlier this year by california lawmakers to get a major disaster declaration approved in the state for previous storms that severely damaged road and highway infrastructure across the state cleanup still underway in the monterey county community of bihar. oh it's been nearly three weeks now since the levee breach, forcing the entire town to evacuate as ktvu. esmark's reports today resource center opened up to help residents and businesses in need of assistance. opening for you. yeah this is what it looks like . inside the mexico meat market, a store, which has stood for 40 years at the foot of the main street bridge linking povero with watson ville. everything will be in the kitchen. maria martinez hopes to have a small section of the store reopened in perhaps a week, but the full project could take months. so
