Disaster Response Team - Chalmette, Louisiana

October 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Eleven members of the Hollins Road CoB Disaster Response Team, left for Chalmette, Louisiana October 11th, 2008 and returned October 18th.

Chalmette is in St. Bernard Parish. Katrina caused levee failures, resulting in 6-20 feet of water inundating homes throughout the parish. Over 200 parish residents lost their lives, and every home was officially declared “uninhabitable.”

The volunteers from HRCB were able to provide help for electrical/ plumbing work, painting, floor laying, window framing, and digging ditches, along with cooking meals for the group. In addition, one volunteer was able to befriend a chicken.

Thanks for all the dedicated men and women; who gave their time and talents to help rebuild Chalmette, Louisiana!
