DAUSA has deployed it Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Trailer to Eastern TN as the request of local authorities and team leads. This will provide thousands of gallons of clean water daily to communities who infrastructure is destroyed.

DAUSA is also having 1000s of Sawyer family water filters flown into small airstrips to get to remote Communities

Disaster Aid USA Strike Teams in FL big bend area where the eye passed, worked with local EOC (Emergency Operation Centers) to help the most vulnerable and 1st responders who were out working and had flooded or wind damaged homes of their own. Senior citizens, disabled veterans, vulnerable communities,  and as mention 1st responders families were first on the list. Chainsawing trees off their houses and drive ways , helping to clear roads, bring supplies and water were all happening at the same time and still happening.

SWFL Coast teams also jumped immediately into action. We had trained teams and pre-positioned tool trailers stationed there. The have been mucking and gutting people homes since day 1 and will continue to do so. While working neighborhoods with muck and gut teams they are also bringing much needed supplies thus being multi purpose teams. 

We have flown in some of our muck and gut trainers from across the country to train local teams thus being a force multiplier. We did the same thing under IAN and in 3 months muck and gutted over 325 homes and 3.5 million dollars worth of work for free.

Teams are also setting up in NC and TN as I type this in 3 different locations, and we will send pics and update and the coordinated with authorities  

 

I apologize in advance for grammatical errors  I am writing this report in the field with limited cell and internet coverage and trying to get it out fast before it goes down.

We are all volunteer 501c3 Charity, Please share with friends!
