FREDERICTON - Some New Brunswick residents affected by last week's flash flooding say they're frustrated with the bureaucratic process slowing government relief.
More than 100 people from the Keswick area went to an information session Monday and many had questions and concerns about the Emergency Measures Organization.
Troy Davidson says he has spent hundreds of dollars on equipment and supplies to minimize the damage to his home and keep his family warm.
Mike Bird of the Keswick Valley Fire Department, who has been inspecting homes in the area, says a lot of families have been displaced and at least 10 homes he has seen should not be lived in.
EMO director Andy Morton encouraged homeowners to begin disposing of damaged goods, rather than waiting for government inspectors, and to take photos or videos as evidence of the damage.
Morton said houses with more than $10,000 in damages can apply for a $4,000 advance that should be delivered within three days.
