Official Statement From Clearfield Boro and Lawrence Township Officials:
 
“A rain storm last evening produced approximately 5.2 inches of rain in a short amount of time which flooded areas of Clearfield Borough and Lawrence Township.  We have been working with Clearfield County Department of Emergency Services and have filed a disaster declaration for Clearfield Boro and Lawrence Townships.  At this time, we do not know if our community will be eligible for financial assistance.”   
 
“We are asking residents to call into the Borough or Township depending on where you live and report information including your damage.  We are also requesting that residents secure their homes and document damage with pictures and videos.
Construction workers are out trying to clean up and reopen the roads.  Please be courteous of their safety when traveling.  Please avoid the West Side area until clean-up is complete.”
