00:10.940 --> 00:13.107
my name is William borgens . I work at

00:13.107 --> 00:14.884
old hickory lock and dam in the

00:14.884 --> 00:17.190
Nashville district . I am the support

00:17.190 --> 00:19.280
specialist for M . C . V . One . I'm

00:19.280 --> 00:23.060
here for hurricane IDa . Um

00:23.840 --> 00:26.173
we're doing the blue roof and R . O . E .

00:26.173 --> 00:27.896
Collections out of this mobile

00:27.896 --> 00:29.896
communication vehicle one I've been

00:29.896 --> 00:33.660
here since um september 8th to me

00:33.660 --> 00:37.390
this is the worst that I've seen

00:37.400 --> 00:41.010
just because in places like florida

00:41.320 --> 00:43.680
houses are congested here . They're

00:43.680 --> 00:47.410
spread all over the place and um

00:47.420 --> 00:50.960
these people I need help .

00:51.340 --> 00:53.800
They really need help and we're their

00:53.800 --> 00:56.710
last hope . In a lot of cases if you

00:56.710 --> 00:58.821
really want to do a good job here you

00:58.821 --> 01:01.043
have to have empathy . You got to think

01:01.043 --> 01:03.043
that this is your brother , this is

01:03.043 --> 01:05.043
your sister , this is your mother ,

01:05.043 --> 01:07.266
this is your grandmother and that's the

01:07.266 --> 01:09.400
only thing you can do and if you can

01:09.400 --> 01:12.220
help help them you'll help them when

01:12.220 --> 01:14.390
you see these people's you know faces

01:14.390 --> 01:16.770
and actually have people crying because

01:16.770 --> 01:19.980
you're here . It makes a difference . I

01:19.980 --> 01:22.036
was in the Marine Corps and I have a

01:22.036 --> 01:23.813
friend that lives in Abbeyville

01:23.813 --> 01:25.980
Louisiana . Thank god he wasn't hit .

01:25.990 --> 01:28.860
But you know you have to think about he

01:28.860 --> 01:30.804
has relatives down here . He's got

01:30.804 --> 01:33.940
family and you know you want to help

01:33.940 --> 01:36.830
your brother out . You do . You got no

01:36.830 --> 01:40.730
choice in Louisiana . The one positive

01:40.730 --> 01:43.620
note is um there's a lot of churches

01:43.620 --> 01:45.850
and there's a lot of community and they

01:45.850 --> 01:48.450
help each other out neighbor helping

01:48.450 --> 01:50.860
neighbor . I just like helping people

01:51.240 --> 01:53.920
you didn't know I'm blessed my . I have

01:53.920 --> 01:56.580
a nice house . I don't have any

01:56.580 --> 01:59.520
problems with my roofs , you know , and

01:59.530 --> 02:01.870
being blessed . You want to help

02:01.870 --> 02:02.870
somebody else .

02:09.340 --> 02:12.760
