Thursday, July 10, 9AM: Another day of clean up after another night of rain. An estimated 48 houses were affected in this neighborhood and possibly as many as 7 have not started remediation yet. Volunteers are onsite and ready to help and supplies can be picked up in the pavilion, staffed by Dominique today. Scroll down to the end of the post for a list of municipal and other resources.

I'll be updating this post around 1pm and 5pm. Update 5PM: They still need volunteers to help clean out. Bring work gloves and a heavy-duty mask with a respirator; suggest wearing long pants and old sneakers or boots. It's muddy! Report to the pavilion when you arrive.
They also need volunteers to staff the pavilion which is serving as the central supply station from 8AM to 8PM, in all weather except thunderstorms. Contact info@thecarrborean.com if you can staff the pavilion for any amount of time.
Please drop off donations in the pavilion between 8AM and 8PM. What they need now: Bottled water and Gatorade, ice, heavy duty trash bags (not kitchen bags), safety goggles, insulation knives, headlamps, bug spray, vinegar, work gloves, shoe covers, plastic gloves, liquid IV/electrolyte powders, heavy-duty masks with respirators, wheelbarrows, a wagon, boxes, and plastic bins for salvaged items. They also need recommendations for vetted flood remediation contractors, especially any willing to give discounts at this time! Email recommendations to info@thecarrborean.com
Monetary donations can help defray the cost of supplies. Checks made out to Weatherhill Pointe HOA will be accepted at the pavilion or by mailing to P.O. Box 442, Carrboro, NC 27510.
