Project 7: Flood Relief with FEMA in VA and WV

We were called out by FEMA to do flood relief in Hurley, VA and McDowell County, WV.  This primarily included "mucking out" houses, which entailed removing mud, assessing damage, removing belongings from flooded homes, excavating mud and debris, and disinfecting homes.  We also cleared landslides and debris from yards.
