LINCOLN, NE (News Channel Nebraska) – Health Experts from the University of Nebraska Medical Center are giving advice on how to keep safe and healthy after the recent flooding in the state.
Experts say being around flooding can leave lasting effects, long after the water has receded.
Doctor Jesse Bell a Professor of Health and Environment at UNMC, says exposure to flood water itself can affect your health.
Other topics discussed include health issues associated with cleaning the house after a flood, like cleaning up mold and debris.
Bell also says the most important step is to have a reliable source of information on flood developments and shelter locations.
