For the next four weeks, M&R is putting crews, equipment and licensed trades into the San Juan County neighborhoods that took the worst of this flood — alongside anyone from the community who wants to work beside us.

We have not drawn up a map in advance. Each week we go where people need help the most, and the requests that come in through this page are how we work out where that is.
Four weeks. One neighborhood at a time. If the water reached you, tell us where you are. If you can give a Friday, we will tell you where to be.
Still in the first days of it? The flood damage guide has what to photograph, what you can safely do yourself, and where the shelters and county help are.
What we are doing
One form, three ways in
The same form whichever one you are. It takes a minute, and what it asks changes depending on which you pick.
The pieces of it
One Friday at a time, we concentrate everything in one place rather than spreading it thin — trucks, trailers, pumps, skid steers and the people who are licensed to run them, working through the heavy obstacles that are stopping households from getting back in. Community volunteers work alongside our crews, and there is real work for people with no trade at all: carrying, hauling, bagging, loading and clearing.
A licensed walkthrough of what the water did: the plumbing and the sewer line, the electrical, the furnace and the water heater, and how wet the structure still is. You get it in writing with photographs and moisture readings, and it is yours — take it to your insurer, your adjuster or any contractor you like. There is no obligation attached to it and no charge for it.
Relief organizations, churches, local government and other contractors are already in these neighborhoods, and some of what is in the way needs a licensed plumber, electrician or HVAC technician, or a machine nobody on site has. M&R is making its specialty equipment and its licensed people available to that work, so the crews already on the ground are not stopped by the one job they cannot legally or safely do.
On a Friday
Worth knowing before you come out, and worth saying plainly: there is a line between the two, and it is about what is safe and what the law requires a license for.
This floodwater is treated as contaminated, so nitrile gloves, rubber boots and an N95 are recommended for everyone on a site.
Community helping community. If you need a hand, ask. If you can give one, we will tell you where to be. Either way it starts with the same form.
