Jay Hershey, a mission manager out of Baltimore District of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, talks about how he and his team members are working in New Jersey and New York to clean up after Hurricane Sandy. Produced by Mary Cochran. Also available in high definition.
USACE has more than 3,000 employees within the North Atlantic Division, and at the peak of response activities an additional 990 team members from other USACE divisions were engaged to support the response mission.
USACE debris teams are in ports, waterways and coastal areas in NJ and NY clearing debris along the Atlantic seaboard. Thirty-five debris teams are assisting local NY and NJ authorities. Nearly 330,000 cubic yards of debris have been removed to date.
Planning response teams also are assisting with debris management, infrastructure assessment, temporary roofing, critical public facilities, and temporary housing.
With local authorities USACE concentrated pumping efforts at 14 critical locations as determined by local officials. Pumping is complete at all 14 locations. During de-watering operations USACE controlled 162 pumps and removed more than 475 million gallons of water equivalent to 720 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
The USACE Water Delivery Mission is complete. USACE provided 512 truckloads (18,000 liters per load) of water to NY, NJ, PA, and WV.
