After "mucking and gutting" 476 homes impacted by
August flooding in Louisiana, six CCC crews will be returning to California
next week.
The crews have devoted a month to flood cleanup efforts -- more
than 17,000 hours of work, working 10-hour days, six days a week. The corpsmembers were based near Baton Rouge.
The work was funded by FEMA, through the federal Corporation
for National and Community Service.
The CCC crews sent to Louisiana are based in Lake Tahoe, Los
Angeles, Pomona, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo and San Diego.
