PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) -- Free disaster cleanup kits were handed out Saturday to Burlington County residents whose properties were inundated in Thursday's flooding.
The county public safety center in Westampton was one of two pickup locations.
Richard Moyer of the American Red Cross of Southwestern New Jersey says the boxes hold muck-out kits, with the kind of things you need to clean up flood water, which should be considered contaminated.
"Clorox, there's different cleaning solutions, mops, squeegee, brushes, and a common handle, and a bucket as well," Moyer said. "And bags full of bags."
They're for the belongings that the floods have turned into trash.
For some of the people who've picked up the kits, the water was still coming.
Rebecca Goodman lives in Burlington Township with her boyfriend and 2-year-old son.
"The basement is flooded," Goodman said. "And every time we get the water out, it just keeps coming up through the ground. We can't keep up."
And neither can their sump pump, and the two additional pumps they've brought in.
Goodman believes new construction and paving have left the water with nowhere to go.
"I think it's because of all the warehouses that have been put up," she said, "because we've never had it before they were there."
Burlington County Emergency Management Coordinator Kevin Shoppas says they're still assessing damage, and who's affected.
"Anybody that's a victim of this event, we're asking to reach out to 211, and register as a victim," Shoppas said. "And they will take their information, and they will forward it to the municipality that they live in."
