SW Washington Flood Response:

As part of the initial response to the flood damage in SW Washington, AWB-Seattle, in conjunction with AIA Washington, worked quickly to get volunteers to the areas most affected by flood damage. On Saturday and Sunday December 8th and 9th training sessions were held to get volunteers up to speed on the Applied Technology Council Wind & Water Damage assessment protocols. Many volunteers were then deployed to Centralia to begin Damage Assessments on the most affected homes.
Although we continue to receive offers of assistance from eager volunteers, at this point we are only seeking trained volunteers for deployments as we are not able to offer further training. However, there are still many ways to help out and we are actively exploring ways to assist in the recovery effort. Please continue to check this website for updates.
