Mike Tigchelaar:  Well we're trying to get the houses that were damaged by the ice dam and the flood back up to livable conditions for the people that were affected by it.  

Kathy Roberts:  It started it was coming up all day and all night.  Once it came over the roads there was no way out.

Gloria Albert:  The water was coming up so fast that we had to leave our homes here, and get downtown because the water was over the roads and so we had to stay down there.  We had to leave to Fairbanks on charters to get to safety.  

Kathy Roberts:  Ever since day one we've been coming to our house every day.  They used to just build fire dry it out so you know no mold would get in there.  That's what they used to do a long time ago my mother-in-law said.  

Mike Tigchelaar:  This is a remote area.  It's difficult to get what we need here in a timely manner.  If you look down by the landing there's a lot of material there.  Our guys, they're fully employed right now, and we'll be fully employed next I would say two or three weeks.  

Gloria Albert:  FEMA had church volunteers come in, they volunteered their time to help out with this disaster.

Ken Westveer:  We started off on these houses, leveling them up, getting them squared up and cleaning out some of the material that was left in the houses.  Electrician went over quite a bit of trying to find out where the problems were and trying to rectify those.

Gloria Albert:  Got all new paneling which looks great, I'm really proud of the people that are doing this for us.  It's good to see smiling faces and helpful hands.  I'll be happy when I can move back into my own home.
