~ Juneau, Alaska - After more than a week of intense clean-up and repair work, the tasks may start to feel routine. However, it is important to remember to prioritize safety while working, especially in hazardous environments with powerful tools. The urge to make progress quickly can be tempting, but it is crucial to take necessary precautions.
According to resources provided by the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ), it is essential for workers to be comfortable with the tools they are using and wear protective gear such as masks and safety goggles. It is also recommended to take regular breaks in order to rest and reset focus.
One potential health hazard that may arise during flood recovery is mold. While it can start growing within 24 hours after water enters a home, it may take some time before it becomes easily detectable. Exposure to mold can lead to breathing problems or allergic reactions.
To help identify and prevent mold growth, CBJ has provided several resources including the Tlingit & Haida Tribal Operations Center's guide on signs and symptoms of mold, as well as tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on how to properly clean up mold after a disaster. The CDC also offers a shopping list for cleaning supplies and recommendations on what protective gear should be worn when entering a home or building with mold damage.

For those in need of fans or dehumidifiers during the clean-up process, CBJ has set up a form at bit.ly/juneau-flood where residents can request assistance.
In other news related to flood recovery efforts, the Salvation Army canteen at Melvin Park will be closing on Friday, August 16th. However, they will continue providing meals on an individual basis for those in need. Those who require meal support are encouraged to email [email address] for assistance.
As Juneau continues its recovery from the recent floods, many have been inspired by the community's support and willingness to help those affected. To recognize and share these stories, CBJ has created the hashtag #JuneauSharesTheDirt for residents to use on social media. This is a way to acknowledge the efforts of friends, family, and volunteers who have come together to assist their neighbors during this challenging time.
Juneau is a special community that has shown its resilience and compassion in the face of adversity. Let us take a moment to recognize and appreciate the ways in which we support each other during difficult times.
