Livingston County Emergency Management put out an appeal for volunteers to assist with sandbagging along the Smithland Floodwall last night due to floodwaters rising faster than anticipated. Volunteers worked through the night to add honeycomb sandbags to the top of the floodwall and will continue today.

If interested in volunteering, report to the Smoky D Restaurant parking lot.
