The community will have their chance to speak to members of Manawa's city council to talk about they losses they got during the July 5th flood and find out what steps can be taken to get some help.

The city says torrential rains caused sewers to overflow, a partial failure of the Manawa Dam, and some houses to be flooded.

Now, Manawa Mayor Mike Frazier says neighbors will have the chance to speak with Manawa's council, the Red Cross, and agencies from Waupaca County on what comes next.

"We will do the best we can to answer all the questions, and, you know, there are still a lot of gray areas that have not been answered yet," says Mayor Frazier.

I also spoke with Manawa's City Clerk and learned the city was also going to hold a council meeting tonight but decided to prioritize the community meeting instead.
