From the Clear Creek Courant (Ian Neligh):

[Clear Creek County Commissioner Tom Hayden] told Hickenlooper that some private driveways that were washed out remain out of service.

“But they’ve received, thanks to you, the (financial) assistance through FEMA for not only individual assistance, but now we’ve got public assistance, so if it is a county road, we are able to go in with some of that public assistance,” Hayden said.

[Clear Creek County Commissioner Phil Buckland] added that the Federal Emergency Management Agency assisted county residents quickly after the flooding.

By the end of September, FEMA had awarded $90,000 to 130 households with flood damage in the county.

Hickenlooper said he was amazed by the amount of restoration work that had occurred throughout the state in five weeks.
