This DVD is the first known audiovisual instructional tool produced to train volunteers, small contractors, and individual homeowners about cleaning up flooded homes in communities affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Ray Lopez of LSA Family Health Service, Inc. narrates the DVD, which was developed with substantial technical involvement from Bill Sothern of Microelogies, Inc., The National Center for Healthy Housing, and its team of technical advisors. Funding was provided for the development and production of the video from an Arnold P. Gold Foundation grant through Columbia University, a HUD Healthy Homes grant to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant to Enterprise Community Partners.
