Default Impacted by flood? Need some cleanup help?

A lot of people will be returning to homes that will need some serious cleanup around their yards basements etc. It goes without saying there is going to be a massive shortage of professional cleanup companies to help with this task. If anyone needs some help getting their lives back in order, maybe willing volunteers can post here.

I can make myself available for 3-4 hours a day, and I have access to a half ton.

For as much crap as you got yesterday/this morning, I have to say you have an immense capacity for human compassion.

Being in construction I have no idea what next week will bring but if you need help please ask. My wife and I will be donating our time as best we can. Spoke with Goodyear last night and he mentioned he would be keen to help as well.

Just ask

Yeah, I'm in to help as well, as much as I can.

Maybe this thread can be a resource for CPers and friends of CPers affected by the flood who need help. What do people like Dion, Bigtime and octothorp need?

Lots of things are coming to mind. What have people lost? Things like furniture, fridges, bedding, clothes? I don't have extras of much of this stuff myself, but would be willing to donate a few bucks so someone can replace what they've lost.

What about the less fortunate? I think I'll shoot a donation over to the Mustard Seed.

Yeah, your the worst Table 5.

Please start designing a "4A Street Ain't Afraid of no Flood" logo. Must include a latte in the design.

I will also accept "Floodtron '13 - 4A Street Crew" with a latte too.

Im on the western edge of Beltline, so we're totally fine. A few blocks east, and the power is out, and a few blocks north and it's evacuated, but life here hasn't changed much. Hobos still hoboing like it aint no thang.

I am currently an unemployed graduate so I have plenty of time on my hands. Anyone that needs help once they return to their places don't hesitate to pm me and I'll do everything I can to help some of you out.

I'll be in Calgary for a week starting Monday. I can give anybody a hand if they need it. I don't have a pick-up though. Just gloves and hot pants. But really, I can definitely help.

FREE furnace Inspections for those with flooded basements ....call Keith MY furnace guy and I will come and determine what you are honestly up against without the added pressure of having a salesman SELL you more than you need to already buy.

Im in edmonton so i may not be of much use, but what i might be able to do is round up some kids toys (girls 5 and under) if youve hand your kids toys lost or destroyed. That can be pretty tough on a kid, so if you need some, let me know and i will find a way to make it work to get them down there.

I will get my kids to put together some packages tonight just in case.

An airport connected friend is hearing that many passengers coming to YYC for the mountains are starting to run out of places to stay here.

How can we get the word out and let people open their homes up for these stranded tourists?
