Our Response

Tropical Storm Imelda caused devastating flooding across Southeast Texas, dropping near-record amounts of rainfall in areas still recovering from Hurricane Harvey. Preliminary numbers, courtesy of the National Weather Service, indicated that it was the fifth wettest tropical cyclone in U.S. history.
 
More than 43 inches of rain was recorded in some communities and a state of emergency was declared in over a dozen counties, including Jefferson, Chambers, and Orange.
 
Airlink partner All Hands and Hearts will remove debris and gut and sanitize homes in preparation for their repair.Â
