14. Fixed broken Water lines
15. Performed around a dozen wellness checks for Crowd source rescue. (Family member call CSR as they haven’t heard from family since storm or to rescue them from damaged home.) No cell service and and no 911 made this very important for family in others states.  We tracked down the addresses and notify if someone was home or had evacuated. Many time neighbor would tell us they saw them before the storm but not after so we kept looking until found and then used our Satellite phone for them to call family and tell them they are ok.  Very touching moments!
16. Assets deployed: Rescue Boat, 2 Domestic response trailers, and Backhoe equipment.  Team members From LA, Missouri, Texas and OK and Florida responded.
17. Cranes from 35 Ton to 70 ton Capacities were offered to the local sheriff dept.
18. DASUA Trailers of supplies came From Southwest LA, Texas, and Florida.
19. Our teams were resupplied by friends of DAUSA in the middle of the night with a crew from over 5 hours away. Brought food, gas, ice, and roofing materials, then turned around immediately for home so our crews could keep operating.
20. Teams are still being rotated in to help with debris and muck and gut job
