Danger is still lurking even after the flood waters subside, health officials warn.
Last week’s slow moving weather system caused flooding and landslides across the Tri-State.
It also caused many families to be displaced from their homes. As people begin the arduous task of cleaning their water-damaged homes, health officials warn that another danger may be present.
Mold growth is imminent after flooding. Moisture and standing water promote the growth of the fungus and may continue to grow as long as there is a moist environment.
