Feature Questions

How did the pandemic inhibit an already challenging flood relief effort?

It made us think differently about how to reach out and engage with the community from arms length in offering our help on recovery efforts. 

Did you do any work helping specific industrial customers recover from the flood?

Our local industrial customers executed well planned flood mitigation protocols in which we played a small part.

Why was TRC, its staff or technology particularly helpful in the Midland flood relief effort?

TRC was able to draw on its partners to deploy creative solutions in both flood prevention and mitigation.  For example, TRC worked with a roofing contractor to use rubber roofing membrane to protect a medical building from rising flood water.

How did TRC help? How do you continue to help?

In the immediate aftermath of the flood TRC helped customers and community members clean up damaged property and flood debris.  At the moment we are executing a pilot program that will rehab three businesses and three homes in some of the hardest hit areas.  Those projects are helping stabilize communities like Sanford.
