NCRI Pre-STAGES for the HURRICANES of 2005

New Orleans, Lousiana - NCRI crews and equipment were pre-staged in New Orleans August 28 2005, prior to the hurricane.

For the first few days following the hurricane, NCRI labor and materials were used to assist FEMA at the Hill Command at the intersection of 610 and I10, where we assisted in the evacuation of New Orleans residents who were trapped.

NCRI supplied food, fuel, water and other supplies to the rescue efforts and also assisted later with the evacuation of patients and infants from the rooftops of area hospitals.

We chartered a helicopter to aid in the rescue efforts and to move manpower and resources into the hospitals where we were working.

Major Louisiana Hospitals

New Orleans, Lousiana - Each of the major hospitals required remediation and restoration of water, sludge, silt, debris and contaminated structure components from within the first floor rooms, corridors, and common areas.

Windows were boarded up and rooftops were tarped until full repairs could be made. Protective fencing was installed around the perimeter of the hospitals for security purposes.

Large equipment was brought in and staged at each hospital, including generators and fuel supply, air conditioning units, desiccant drying equipment, fuel cells, man-lifts, bobcats, etc. Ductwork was run to each floor to supply air where needed.


In addition numerous hotels, resorts, large retailers, condominiums, in the New Orleans area were responded to and most are now in operation to serve the residents who are returning to restore New Orleans.
