Where have all the flood victims gone? The FEMA Disaster Recovery Center located in the old middle school gymnasium on Monroe St. in Delphi is host to several flood victim aid-related agencies. Personnel are on hand to help with applicant services and hazard mitigation. The Internal Revenue Service and the Small Business Administration are also ready and waiting on the gym floor to help FEMA registered flood victims. The Red Cross has boxes of cleaning supplies ready to hand out to victims on the upper level of the building. According to Jeanne Kern, chief of the individual assistance branch, only approximately 100 victims have visited the center. "Not all of our assistance is monetary," Kern said Monday. "People can come here every day if they want to as they need answers to different questions." Comet photo by Debbie Lowe
