Camps for volunteers, and Thursday work sites

Living accommodations for people working on disaster clean-up were provided by FEMA, through companies that usually run camps for forest-firefighters. The showers were clean and had plenty of hot water, the food was plentiful, and the weather was mild during the entire week of our stay, all of which helped make us comfortable.

On Thursday, we worked at a couple of different homes around Bay St. Louis.

Barron Point at Camp Shelby, near Hattiesburg; tents slept about 15 people	Camp at county fairgrounds near Kiln; sleeping quarters were huge, "big top" tents	Showers in a truck trailer, sinks with running water out front (Kiln)
Part of the "command center" at Barron Point; note all the communications gear	Studying maps to locate the addresses assigned to us	Bay St. Louis neighborhood, a few blocks from the coast
All that's left of a house across the street from...	Mr. Eric Peterson, whose house is still in one piece, after it floated off its foundation	Yard full of fallen trees hides house, car, and van
