CHARLESTON — Since June, the West Virginia National Guard has made progress in getting people who lost their homes during 2016 flooding into houses and trailers, but it acknowledged it remains months from meeting every need.
That’s according to Adjutant Gen. James Hoyer, who gave a presentation on the RISE West Virginia flood recovery program to the Joint Legislative Committee on Flooding Tuesday morning at the state Capitol.
“My sense is the individuals out there impacted by RISE believe that the program is moving in the right direction and they have confidence in the program,” Hoyer said. “They may not be happy with the speed in which it’s going…but they have the confidence that we are working expeditiously to take care of the issues the best we can and that we are communicating effectively.”
