A dozen corps members from the California Conservation Corps in Meyers will spend the next month in Louisiana aiding residents with flood cleanup efforts.

The group, supervised by staff member Zach McHenry, are among six crews from CCC locations throughout the state dispatched to Louisiana to help after the severe August flooding. They leave on Friday.

The work will focus on “mucking and gutting” buildings impacted by the floods: removing carpet, drywall and flooring and other wet or moldy material.
