According to Elmer Salazar, flood committee member, victims should expect at least a two-week wait until equipment will be able to access the flooded properties.According to Mateo DeVargas, RAC emergency manager, questions about government assistance have been flooding his department. The county has been compiling damage reports to send to Homeland Security, in hopes of financial assistance for families. Additionally, Los Alamos National Laboratory and El Centro Family Health have offered assistance through their volunteer programs.The Rio Arriba County Commission has declared the county in a state of disaster as of July 1, partly because of flooding.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)
