Local volunteers spread out over Moab’s streets on Sunday, cleaning up after a major flood event that caused Mill Creek to overtop some downtown bridges and send water into properties around Main Street. Using shovels, wheelbarrows and their own hands, community members moved debris in hard hit areas. Moab City and Grand County have each made emergency declarations, which could help make funding available for those affected. Public works employees, along with local city and county officials, held an emergency meeting over the weekend to assess the damages and discuss the next steps to address this local disaster.
