The War of the Worlds

Having witnessed the destructive power of the river, the residents of Millford are now confronting a serious dilemma. The recent flood, which overwhelmed the old levees, has displaced dozens of families who lived in the valley. Authorities have established an emergency center to coordinate the response and investigate the failure of the flood defenses. Volunteers, hoping to make a significant difference, are sorting donations and providing meals for those affected. The community must now determine the best path forward. Some argue for rebuilding in the same location, while others advocate for a managed retreat to higher ground. This decision will have long-term consequences for the town's future. Knowing that another disaster is possible, the town council is reviewing all options carefully. They are hoping to establish a safer, more resilient community plan that protects everyone. The process is challenging, but it is essential for true recovery and future security.
