CIA has been working in Texas since the beginning of September when Hurricane Harvey caused historic floods and devastation throughout many parts of the state. We have been mucking out and gutting homes that were flooded, using chainsaws to remove fallen trees and heavy equipment to demolish destroyed structures. You can see some of what we've done and the people we've helped on our Vimeo channel. You can also see photos on our facebook page.

As this community enters the next phase of recovery and rebuilding, our work is coming to an end. November 15th the last of our team and equipment will be begin the journey back to Virginia with all of our equipment and tools. When we get there, we need help to "Demobilize": putting everything back in storage trailers, reorganizing things and getting everything set so we are ready to roll the next time we are called on to respond to a major disaster. We'll be doing everything from cleaning out/washing vehicles and trailers to sorting rakes & shovels, moving heavy equipment around and preparing our cooking equipment for storage. We will be demobilizing on Saturday morning, November 18, at 9AM. Because the hazards are reduced, for this event we are accepting volunteers as young as 13 when accompanied by an adult. Please register below to let us know when you are available. Thank you for being willing to help us!
