I was not involved with the flood reconstruction. I was just an ordinary citizen at the time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7771439\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we do talk about the situation we have with the diking, in two of our areas we still are using temporary military dikes. Had we been allowed to actually go in and repair those to the point where those citizens could feel comfortable now...because the temporary dikes are now being tested for a second straight freshet. We're a little nervous that these are going to be the exit points. It would have been nice to be able to go in right away with our own equipment and build those up to protect the citizens in that area.</p>",

Si on nous avait permis de les r\u00e9parer de telle sorte que les citoyens se sentent \u00e0 l'aise maintenant... Les digues temporaires sont maintenant mises \u00e0 l'\u00e9preuve par une deuxi\u00e8me crue naturelle de suite. Nous craignons qu'elles ne soient des points faibles. Il aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 bien de pouvoir y aller tout de suite avec notre propre \u00e9quipement et de construire les digues pour prot\u00e9ger les citoyens de la r\u00e9gion.</p>"
