Homeowners this week can talk in-person to a Federal Emergency Management Association representative about how to clean out their basements, as well as hear advice on how to prepare for a possible relief grant.

In the wake of the major flash floods of last weekend, FEMA has set up a table at the Home Depot on Mystic Avenue, laden with guides on how to protect your home from flood damage, mold and mildew control, and applications for help after a disaster. FEMA set up its information table last Thursday, and will be at the Home Depot this week.

"People are really looking for guidance on what to do next, in terms of cleaning up," said Norman Thidemann of FEMA, who was busy handing out guides and fielding various questions on Thursday.
