Volunteers likely to begin cleanup work Monday

Written by  Craig Layne, Morning Edition Host/Reporter

(Harrisburg) -- Volunteers will likely begin working Monday to clean up flood damage in the City of Harrisburg. Mayor Linda Thompson says the response to the city's call for help has been overwhelming and humbling. "So the citizens were calling from all over the city and sometimes from out of the city to volunteer for cleanup. We have a list of over 200 people. So we will start calling those volunteers as we need them," Thompson says. The Mayor says City Island will remain closed for at least a few days as cleanup and repair work continues. A state of emergency and curfew were lifted in the city Sunday night at 9 p.m.
