An Emergency Operations Center is being set up at the Community Center in East Cape Girardeau.
The contact phone number is (618)-306-1375. Any requests for assistance involving the flooding in Alexander County can be directed to the EOC. The workers there will be working to provide resources to those affected by the flood.
Mississippi River flooding led to more than a dozen homes being evacuated in an East Cape Girardeau mobile home park on Tuesday.
The American Red Cross originally had a shelter set up at The Spark Ministries building in McClure, but has now relocated it to Zion United Methodist Church on State Highway Z in Cape Girardeau.
