Posting this info & Hoping Topix Servers Will Circulate it to USA Friends Too

On Tuesday, advance parties of Red Cross volunteers will begin visiting flood-affected areas and provide advice and information on what disaster relief is available.
Health and safety inspection teams will start work on Tuesday as well in areas they are able to safely visit.
They will check electrical and gas systems, which must be done before work can begin on the cleanup.

Once homeowners have registered with the provincial government, they will be given the paperwork to begin their claims.

The government said it will not charge any fees to reconnect hydro, test wells or do electrical inspections.
People living in flood zones cannot get regular insurance coverage because of the high risk.

Flood levels are dropping along much of the Saint John River, but the crest is moving toward the Saint John area and people in that area are advised to be on alert...
