FLOODING DESTROYS HOMES OF HUNDREDS IN EXAMCITY The damage done to property in Examcity is substantial; however, it is the emotional and psychological cost which is most damaging. The community has been devastated and the once pretty village ruined by flood water. On one level, the residents here are lucky since most people would have insured their houses properly. Some houses though have all but disappeared and distraught villagers are desperately looking for friends and family to stay with until the floods recede. On one hand, the local people I spoke to have all expressed some anger at local government officials. According to one bitter resident, this disaster had been avoidable as they had been building on land nearby and the flood water then had nowhere to go. Although locals had warned the government about the risk, nobody listened. On the other hand, the local councillor, Robert Leach, expressed a different point of view. He stated that they had behaved responsibly since nature and natural disasters cannot be controlled.

As for the future, the short term looks bleak as the clean up operation will take weeks as mud from the river clogs up the streets and gardens. One of the villagers hope that sticking together and helping each other will save the town, while another, Jack Flower, was less easily placated. He believes that the disaster would happen again if no action was taken; therefore, after the village local politics has to be cleaned up as well. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________
