Due to damages caused by flooding, authorities in several counties -Desha, Arkansas, Lincoln, Drew, Bradley and Lonoke, thus far- have locally declared a disaster for their areas. They have not requested assistance from ADEM at this time. However, ADEM area coordinators are in close contact with local coordinators, emergency management and other authorities as they assess damages. With more rain expected across the state over the next two days, we could experience more flooding in additional areas. Please take precautions, especially if you are in areas prone to flooding. And as always we remind you never drive into standing water. Be safe Arkansas. ... See MoreSee Less
