Corps ends Orleans debris mission
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency has ended the direct federal
assistance by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers'
Louisiana Recovery Field Office in Orleans Parish.
LA-RFO to close its doors September 29
The LA-RFO and it's remaining 400-person workforce
will be deactivated by the Federal Emergency Management
Agent on September.
The remaining debris and demolition requirements
eligible under FEMA programs will be worked directly
with the respective cities and parishes on a
reimbursable basis.
Gutting Teams should exercise caution
Several houses recently collapsed immediately following
gutting operations. Crews gutting homes should be
extremely cautious.
Many of these homes have been standing for almost two
years soaking in salt-water and under attack from
termites. The support connectors and nails have
been compromised by the salt water.

Corps of Engineers-related tree and debris work in
Jefferson Parish is scheduled to end September 29 with
the deactivation of the Louisiana RFO.
