In addition to the immediate danger of rushing floodwater, officials are also reminding residents of the longer-term health risks.

[SUPER=04-File Tape]
The aftermath of all the rain can be a concern when residents re-enter their homes. There is the possibility of injury or electrocution.
Even the flood water should be handled with care because it may contain chemicals or sewage.
