(Harrisburg) -- The Dauphin County Commissioners are calling on residents to help with flood cleanup in the area. They ask those who are interested in volunteering to call the county Human Services Department at (717) 780-6288 between 8am 4pm over the next two weeks. Residents who live above Peter's Mountain should call the Northern Dauphin County Human Services Center at (717) 827-4640.

Volunteers may be needed for physically-demanding tasks such as debris removal, as well as other jobs, such as disinfecting household items, making phone calls, and preparing and serving food.

Commissioners Jeff Haste, Mike Pries, and George Hartwick, III have also approved a plan to allow the county's 1,700 employees to devote up to eight hours of paid county time to assist with flood cleanup efforts

I. W. Abel Hall in Steelton, the Northern Dauphin County Human Services Center, and the Hershey Italian Lodge have been identified as centralized meeting grounds for volunteer crews. Commissioners are targeting the areas of northern Dauphin County, Hershey, Hummelstown and communities along the Route 230 corridor for priority cleanup, and rely upon local officals to determine the areas and projects of greatest need. County staff members are also calling all area service organizations to compile a list of additional volunteers.

In Hummelstown Borough, one of the hardest-hit areas, municipal officials have reported about 200 residents with flooded basements, along with numerous businesses.

About 10 homes on Kokomo Drive and Circle Drive in Hummelstown were either fully or partially submerged. Another 10 to 14 houses on Sweet Arrow Drive were submerged, as of 9am this morning.

The boil-water advisory from United Water Pennsylvania remains in place for customers in Dauphin and Perry Counties.

The County Emergency Operations Center remains fully operational today, but is expected to shift to a scaled-down activation tomorrow.
