Southern California Flooding

January 25, 2010, Long Beach, CA – An intense series of winter storms brought widespread flooding, huge waves and evacuations throughout Southern California this week.  Har-Bro Emergency Services and Restoration has been working around the clock on the more than 150 jobs that were called within the first 72 hours.   A flooded senior care center, a roof collapse at a retail store, and flooding at a hospital are just a sampling of the calls that Har-Bro has responded to during this dramatic weather event.

By utilizing multiple resources from their satellite offices and other means, Har-Bro has been able to muster the crews and equipment needed for this significant emergency response.

Har-Bro President, Jim Franklin adds “with the large scale of damage that we saw locally it was imperative that we properly allocate the Har-Bro infrastructure and technical resources to properly service all those effective by this storm.”

In addition to the clean up, water extraction and dry-down services necessary, the crews have been providing flooded properties with preventative services such as placement of more than 5000 sand bags, numerous roof cover ups and emergency weather proofing.
