NECHAMA has a disaster response team en route to Oklahoma where a massive EF-4 tornado ripped through residential areas South of Oklahoma City Monday afternoon.

NECHAMA is currently seeking a qualified Lead Construction Manager for it’s Hurricane Sandy Recovery Program.

Since late last week NECHAMA’s Dan Hoeft and Mark McGilvery have been on the ground in Illinois assessing the situation from the most recent floods that have affected several Midwestern states. Following a request by local emergency management, the team visited towns in McHenery County, but were unable to begin assisting residents as water levels have yet to recede. In the mean time, they moved further south where water levels are lower and residents have begun cleaning out their homes.

We are on the ground following a local request for assistance.

Forest View, Illinois is located on the southwest side of Chicago and is adjacent to the Des Plaines River. Recent heavy precipitation has led to water overtopping the local levee and spilling into the surrounding communities.
