The mayor of the US city at the centre of a deadly police shooting that sparked repeated nights of racially charged unrest has pledged to rebuild.
Looting erupted and businesses were set ablaze in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson after a grand jury said white police officer Darren Wilson would face no criminal case in the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black.
Sporadic protests continued across the US on Sunday.
"We are recommitted to rebuilding the city and to once again becoming a thriving community for economic development and residential stability," Ferguson Mayor James Knowles said at a news conference.
"We are working hard with local and regional partners to re establish resources available," he added.

The decision not to charge Wilson in connection with the August 9 shooting of Brown touched off days of sporadic violence in Ferguson, as well as demonstrations in several major cities across the US. Ferguson was also hit by violent unrest in the weeks after the shooting.
Protesters have shot at police, robbed locally owned stores and set cars and buildings ablaze. A church attended by Brown's family was burned down.
Residents are furious the grand jury declined to charge Wilson. Grand juries typically refer cases to trial.
The decision revived long-standing questions about how police, especially white officers, interact with African Americans - questions raised again after last week's shooting in Cleveland of 12-year-old Tamir Rice.
Wilson has resigned from the Ferguson police department, citing fears for the safety of local residents and fellow police officers.
Knowles said Wilson, 28, did not receive any severance package when he resigned and would not get any further pay or benefits.
