HURRICANE SANDYVolunteered in flood-devastated areas during the immediate aftermath of the superstorm. After shoveling out several feet of sand and sewage, I removed debris and determined which personal items could be salvaged or restored. I also assessed mold damage and assisted with paperwork for insurance companies as well as federal aid. Once cleanup was completed, I worked with victims to redesign their damaged spaces. I created new room layouts in accordance with individual special requirements and local codes. Materials were selected based on how well they could withstand similar flooding and whether they were easy to clean or replace. Following construction, I helped homeowners find alternate sources of emergency power in the event of another natural disaster.
