MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Several government agencies toured West Memphis on Saturday as a part of an ongoing effort to help recovery efforts after last week’s severe storms.

According to the City of West Memphis, FEMA, the Small Business Administration, the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management, and the City of West Memphis Office of Emergency Management conducted a joint tour of several areas in West Memphis.

The City says the tour is part of a larger data-gathering effort. The City says the data is needed to support a federal Major Disaster Declaration for the state of Arkansas.

West Memphis faced massive flooding after last week’s storms. More than 100 residents had to be evacuated from their homes. Flood waters shut down many roads, and at least one family had to be rescued from a vehicle.

“All our pumps have been working. It wasn’t a wastewater or drainage stop-up,” West Memphis Mayor Marco McClendon said. “It was just an unprecedented flood for our city.”

The American Red Cross stepped in to provide resources to those who needed them, opening a shelter for those who didn’t have anywhere else to go.

Even as the flooding began to recede, some residents still had problems leaving or getting to their homes. Some neighborhoods reported water levels of more than five feet.

“Yeah, I done lost everything,” West Memphis resident Alvis Gibbs said. “Yeah, everything gone. God is good. I’m still here.”
