My lifelong friend Mickey retired from the federal government this spring. In previous disasters she has worked for FEMA, making sure things were going as they should. This time she is in the New Orleans area working for Dewberry. I believe that is her on the right in this picture. Here is what she had to say about these 7 pictures:
"This is where they haul all the downed trees and burn them. Across the way is where all the construction material ( houses and contents) is dumped. The trucks are inspected as they drive by a tower for amount of material they are hauling. Truckers are paid by the cubic yard. Some of them are self loaders which means they have a large grapple that they pick up logs and vegetation with."
