North Korea is struggling to restore damaged facilities and provide relief to flood victims now that more than a week's worth of heavy rains have begun to recede.

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that central government officials participated in repair work in Pyongyang on Sunday.

The North's Korean Central Broadcasting Station also said that the military is working to reconnect railroads for the resumption of railway service and that the people are repairing dikes, public buildings and roads.

It also reported that central government agencies convened contingency meetings to devise measures for regions hit hard by flooding, which the KCNA said was the worst in 40 years.
