Behind the Headlines

This notice is for our readers in Monroe County, Mich., and will be in today’s edition of The Monroe Evening News.

Cleanup kits are available free of charge at the American Red Cross office, 1645 N. Dixie Hwy., Frenchtown Township, for local residents who are cleaning up from basement flooding.

The Monroe County Red Cross chapter got several reports Tuesday night of flooded basements in the city of Monroe, particularly on Maple, Smith and Third Streets, said Debbie Davenport, director of community outreach and volunteer services for the chapter.

Any local resident who needs a cleanup kit can call the chapter at (734) 289-1481 for information.

The kits include a broom, mop, bucket, rubber gloves and other cleanup supplies appropriate for flooding relief.
